The New York Knicks built leads throughout the night but never fully pulled away from the Denver Nuggets. However, Jalen Brunson capitalized on every open look and delivered key hustle plays, helping the Knicks grind out a 122-112 victory Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.

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.

With the win, the Knicks (32-16) have won five in a row and secured their second sweep of the Nuggets in the last three seasons. Though the Knicks did not reach their massive tally of 143 that appeared in their column in each of the last two games, the 408 points that have combined to earn are the most they've had in any trio in franchise history.
