The New York Knicks cruised to an impressive 117-94 victory over the Washington Wizards in their second preseason game, improving to 2-0. The game showcased their new All-Star duo, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, setting the stage for a season filled with high expectations. Brunson came out hot, scoring nine of the team’s first 14 points, finishing with 23 points on an efficient 7-10 shooting from the field, including 2-3 from beyond the arc. His early energy set the tone for the Knicks.
Towns, on the other hand, had a slow start, missing his first six shots and struggling from three-point range, making just one of seven attempts. However, he found his rhythm in the second half, excelling in the pick-and-roll with Brunson and finishing with 25 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 7-20 overall.
