The New York Knicks (25-17) held Villanova Night inside Madison Square Garden on the day they hosted the lowly Washington Wizards (7-33) in Manhattan.
Truth be told, they couldn’t have picked a better foe if all they wanted to do on a random Thursday in the middle of January was finding an excuse to celebrate, final result 113-109 for the folks clad in blue-and-orange adorned threads.
The Knicks struggled—because Knicks—but a win is a win and that’s what they did. Jalen Brunson dumped 41 points in front of his sister and his mom as they were in attendance showing the kid some love.
