Josh Hart showcased his all-around brilliance on Monday night, delivering his third triple-double of the season to propel the New York Knicks to a commanding 126-106 win over the Washington Wizards, MySportDab Reports.
Hart recorded 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking his ninth triple-double as a Knick. Karl-Anthony Towns led all scorers with 32 points and 13 rebounds, continuing his stellar form.
Jalen Brunson and O.G. Anunoby contributed 18 points apiece as the Knicks extended their winning streak to eight games, improving to 23-10 on the season.
The Knicks held a slim 59-57 lead at halftime but shifted into another gear in the second half. A dominant third quarter set the stage for a fourth-quarter blitz that sealed the game. “We executed. We got stops. We played fast,” Hart said after the win. “Sometimes it takes us a little while to wake up, but we always do.”
Elsewhere, Nikola Jokic delivered a stunning 36-point, 22-rebound, 11-assist triple-double, adding four steals to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 132-121 victory over the Utah Jazz.

In New Orleans, James Harden’s clutch free throws in the final seconds secured a 116-113 win for the Los Angeles Clippers over the struggling Pelicans, who dropped their 10th straight game to fall to 5-28. Norman Powell led the Clippers with 35 points, while Harden added 27.
Meanwhile, Coby White’s near triple-double (23 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists) helped the Chicago Bulls edge the Charlotte Hornets 115-108 in overtime, despite Miles Bridges’ 31-point effort for the hosts.
