Knicks halt losing streak with record rout

Thunder roar as Shai puts on another show

- 

The New York Knicks snapped their four-game losing streak with a record-breaking 120-66 obliteration of the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, the most lopsided victory in franchise history.

Jalen Brunson scored 20 points as the Knicks romped to a 54-point margin of victory, eclipsing their previous biggest winning margin of 48, achieved in 1968, 1972 and 1994.

The victory over their New York rivals at Madison Square Garden followed a dismal run of four straight losses that culminated with a 114-97 drubbing by Dallas on Monday.

Knicks coach Mike Brown's frustration had boiled over following that loss, and he revealed later he had challenged his team to “do your job” in a halftime dressing down after they conceded 75 points in the first half alone.
