Jalen Brunson scored nine of his season-high 55 points in OT to help the Knicks beat the Wizards on Saturday night.

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.

Jalen Brunson erupted for 55 points -- 42 after the first half -- as the Knicks won their seventh straight game Saturday night against the Washington Wizards. But the bigger picture is that the Knicks (22-10) became the first team to have four different guys score 40+ in a game before Jan. 1, via the MSG Network.
