In another NBA regular season game of the 2025/26 season , the New York Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards 145-113 at home, thanks to contributions from Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson , and Josh Hart . Head coach Mike Brown said he was pleased with the team's ability to convert offensive rebounds, including their strong performance on both ends of the court .

According to the data, Anthony Towns scored 26 points and 3 assists in this game, Jalen Brunson scored 23 points and 4 assists, while Josh Hart contributed 16 points and 4 assists for the New York Knicks.

New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown said, "I think our players played a winning game. The team had a lot of highlights on both ends of the court, especially our ability to choose high-quality shots. We didn't take enough shots; we took 32, but we would have preferred to get closer to 43. However, making 17 of 32 shots is already very good."

"I really like the team's ability to convert offensive rebounds. Although we only had 13 offensive rebounds, we converted them into 26 points, which is crucial. Our best defensive player in this game was Anthony Towns, who had 12 rebounds, as well as several contests and steals. He was also excellent in the fight for possession. One thing we've been emphasizing is to consistently apply pressure with our bodies in pick-and-rolls and handoffs, and he did that exceptionally well."

Mike Brown emphasized, "I value the ability to quickly get into the next rhythm. If we don't get back on defense or make an effort because of communication with the referees, it's a big problem for me. If the opponent can't feel our defensive pressure on offense and keeps hitting three-pointers, that's not a good thing."

In addition, the New York Knicks achieved a six-game winning streak after defeating the Washington Wizards. Mike Brown commented, "I might be a little crazy. I didn't even know we had a six-game winning streak because I'm always thinking about how to get better on both ends of the court."

"Of course we hope the team can be at its best in all aspects, but I think we're in a good position as the season draws to a close and we head into the playoffs. Aiming for a higher ranking is important, of course, but I always believe that ranking doesn't necessarily determine whether a team wins or loses in the end."
