Historic, record-breaking victory for New York over Brooklyn

The NBA witnessed an exceptional night, headlined by a historic and emphatic victory for the New York Knicks over the Brooklyn Nets, as they cruised to a crushing 120–66 win in one of the most eye-catching results of the season.

Jalen Brunson led his team to this dominant triumph with 20 points, in a contest where the Knicks completely controlled the tempo from the opening tip until the final buzzer.

This win was far from ordinary, as New York recorded the largest margin of victory in franchise history, reaching a 54-point differential. That figure surpassed their previous record of 48 points, which had been achieved on three occasions, most recently against the Philadelphia 76ers in 1994.

Despite coming close to registering the largest winning margin in the league this season, a late three-pointer by Nets player Danny Wolf with 8.5 seconds remaining denied New York that milestone, leaving the record with the Charlotte Hornets, who demolished the Utah Jazz 150–95 last month.

The result reflected a complete collapse by the Brooklyn Nets, who were held to just 66 points — the lowest total by any NBA team since March 2015, when the Charlotte Hornets suffered a similar defeat to the Utah Jazz — underlining the defensive and offensive dominance imposed by the Knicks throughout the contest.

In the other games, defending champions Oklahoma City Thunder continued their strong form, with Canadian star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way in a comfortable 122–102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He finished with 40 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds, delivering a complete performance that once again confirmed his status as one of the league’s premier stars.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers secured a hard-fought 94–87 victory over the Charlotte Hornets thanks to 24 points from their star Donovan Mitchell, while Jalen Duren impressed with 20 points and 15 rebounds to guide the Detroit Pistons to a 112–104 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The night also featured a strong collective display from the Toronto Raptors, with three players scoring more than 20 points in a 122–109 victory over the Sacramento Kings, while Jaylen Brown powered the Boston Celtics past the Indiana Pacers 119–104 with a 30-point performance. The evening concluded with a thrilling win for the Atlanta Hawks over the Memphis Grizzlies, 124–122, led by Jalen Johnson, who delivered an outstanding all-around display with 32 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists.
