Tom Thibodeau calls for consistent officiating following Jalen Brunsons treatment in Knicks win over Nets. Key players shine in the match.

NEW YORK — Karl-Anthony Towns had 25 points and 16 rebounds, Jalen Brunson scored eight points down the stretch and finished with 17 as the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-95 on Tuesday night. OG Anunoby scored 20 points and Precious Achiuwa had 11 points off the bench as the Knicks won their second straight game.

After they made him look average, the best basketball player on the planet declared the Knicks a legit title contender.

On Wednesday, Tom Thibodeau's team beat the Nuggets, 122-112, to extend their winning streak to five. It was their third consecutive win against a team above .500 after they crushed the Grizzlies and Kings in back-to-back routs with a combined victory margin of 60 points.

A final differentiator for the Knicks over their last five games is pace. New York is eighth in pace over that span (99.15). Conversely, the Knicks rank 24th in pace on the season (97.97), which includes the last five games. So, something has changed regarding how many possessions they're generating.

Jokic has been as dominant as ever this season, but the Knicks were able to hold him to an uncharacteristically unproductive outing on Wednesday.
