Jalen Brunson poured in 30 points and dished out 15 assists, while OG Anunoby added 23 points as the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to five games with a 122-112 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 14 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists for the Knicks , who capitalized on an early foul trouble for Nikola Jokic to establish a commanding lead.

The Knicks' strong start was fueled by a 15-0 run sparked by Anunoby's quick move past Jokic, who picked up two fouls within the first 1 1/2 minutes. This forced him to an early exit, leaving the Nuggets struggling to contain the Knicks' relentless offensive onslaught. While Jokic eventually returned, he was held to 17 points, six rebounds, and six assists, failing to reach double figures in any category until the fourth quarter. Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 33 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Knicks' impressive performance. In other NBA action, Kristaps Porzingis erupted for a season-high 34 points, including eight 3-pointers, to lead the Boston Celtics to a 122-100 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Jaylen Brown added 28 points, Derrick White chipped in with 22, and Jayson Tatum had 16 for the Celtics, who bounced back from a disappointing loss to the Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks narrowly escaped with a 137-136 win over the New Orleans Pelicans after P.J. Washington sunk four crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, finishing with 25 points. Kyrie Irving also contributed 25 points and six assists for the Mavericks. The Indiana Pacers defeated the Detroit Pistons 133-119, with Pascal Siakam leading the charge with 37 points and Tyrese Haliburton adding 30 points and eight assists.
