Jalen Brunson scored nine of his season-high 55 points in overtime and the visiting New York Knicks extended their season-best winning streak to seven games, beating the Washington Wizards 136-132 on Saturday.

So what should’ve been an easy evening turned into a dogfight for the Knicks, who required 55 points from Jalen Brunson to squeak out Saturday’s 136-132 overtime win. Brunson was a scoring machine with his double-nickel, collecting his third game with 50 or more points since last season.

Karl-Anthony Towns added 30 points and 14 rebounds for the Knicks, who have now won seven straight. This was their first overtime game of the season. Justin Champagnie, who is quietly having a nice breakout season in Washington, scored a career-high 31 points with 10 rebounds.
