The New York Knicks' winning streak continued on Tuesday night, as they defeated the Washington Wizards 132-101, despite losing Josh Hart to an apparent injury in the third quarter. Hart, who has been dealing with ankle trouble earlier this season, walked gingerly to the tunnel immediately after leaving the game and did not return. Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 19 points and 15 rebounds, while Mikal Bridges scored 23 points and Jalen Brunson added 21. The Knicks' impressive seven-game run has seen them win by margins of 54, 27, 30, and 31 points. New York has now won 11 consecutive games against the Wizards. The team's recent slump from Dec. 31 to Jan. 19, where they went 2-9, seems to be a distant memory. The Knicks led by as many as 18 points in the first quarter and were up 72-45 at halftime. OG Anunoby scored 19 points for New York, while Hart had four points, seven rebounds, and seven assists before exiting. The Knicks' next game is against Denver on Wednesday night, while the Wizards will play at Detroit on Thursday night. Will the Knicks' winning streak continue? And what does Hart's injury mean for the team's future? These questions and more will be answered in the coming days. The Knicks' ability to rest players ahead of Wednesday night's showdown with Denver, which also played Tuesday at Detroit, was a strategic move. Only Brunson reached the 30-minute mark in this game for either team. The Knicks went 17 of 37 from 3-point range. The AP NHL hub can be found at https://apnews.com/hub/nhlbr/.
