Another Jalen Brunson masterclass helped the New York Knicks avoid a disaster against the lowly Washington Wizards over the weekend, as the captain's latest showcase was the key behind a 136-132 victory at Capital One Arena in the nation's capital.

The Washington Wizards faced the New York Knicks on Saturday night inside Capital One Arena. Despite a terrific effort, the shorthanded Wizards fell short as New York won, 136-132. Jordan Poole (left hip contusion) was ruled out prior to tip-off while Kyle Kuzma (ribs) missed his 11th straight game.

New York won their seventh straight contest but needed an extra period against one of the league's worst teams to do so.
