The New York Knicks downed the Denver Nuggets 122-112 on Wednesday behind another tremendous night from Jalen Brunson. Brunson had his sixth game with 30

Jalen Brunson posted his second double-double in three games on Wednesday night for the host New York Knicks, who continued their surge with a 122-112 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Ahead of this game, the Nuggets made a rotation change by reinserting Aaron Gordon into the starting lineup. Rather than Russell Westbrook returning to the bench though, it was Christian Braun who went to the second unit, coming off the bench for the first time this season.

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.

The loudest complaint about these Knicks until a few days ago — and a fair one — was that they could bully bad teams, but mostly shrank from good ones.

The Knicks can call themselves the hottest team in basketball, extending their winning streak to five games with a 122-112 victory the Nuggets on Wednesday.

The Nuggets fell apart late in New York and squandered an opportunity for a quality win. Jamal Murray carried the team on Nikola Jokić’s down night, but the defense’s failure to cover screen rolls and getting clobbered in transition outweighed his impact.
