Karl-Anthony Towns had 31 points and 11 rebounds, Mikal Bridges scored 27 points and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 122-103 on Saturday night. OG Anunoby had 23 points and Cam Payne chipped in 13 for the Knicks,

This isn’t a game that should have been close. In fact, for the majority of the Knicks’ matchup against the league-worst Washington Wizards on Saturday, the game was a no-contest. Mikal Bridges erupted for 20 points in the second quarter to open up a 25-point halftime lead,

It was the start of a welcome stretch of home games for the Knicks (44-26), who had played seven of their previous eight games away from the Garden. They entered Saturday 3-6 overall in their past nine games and 3-4 since Jalen Brunson went down with a sprained right ankle against the Lakers on March 6.
