With the win, the Knicks (32-16) have won five in a row and secured their second sweep of the Nuggets in the last three seasons. Though the Knicks did not reach their massive tally of 143 that appeared in their column in each of the last two games, the 408 points that have combined to earn are the most they've had in any trio in franchise history.

For a team that has struggled internally on defense for the better part of most of the year, the Knicks' strong performance shows that the team is improving when it matters most. The victory is New York's fifth straight and sixth victory in their last seven tries.

Jalen Brunson had 30 points and 15 assists, OG Anunoby scored 23 points and the New York Knicks beat the Denver Nuggets 122-112 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory. Karl-Anthony Towns had 14 points,
