Knicks' Brunson scores 47, Bulls edge Hawks epic

SPORTS 22.12.2025

Jalen Brunson scored a season-high 47 points as the New York Knicks toppled the Miami Heat 132-125 on Sunday.

Text size:

Star point guard Brunson also managed eight assists and three rebounds, in his highest-scoring performance ever at the Knicks' Madison Square Garden home.

The in-form New York team's eighth win in nine games improves their record to 20-8 in the Eastern Conference, where they sit second behind the Detroit Pistons.

That hot streak includes the Knicks' NBA Cup final victory last week, which ended their 52-year trophy drought.

Kel'el Ware top scored for Miami, with 28 points as well as 19 rebounds. The Heat have now lost seven of their last eight, and fall to 15-14.

Elsewhere, the Chicago Bulls edged the highest-scoring game of the NBA season so far, holding off a late rally in a tight clash against the Atlanta Hawks to prevail 152-150.

Jalen Johnson's 36 points, and another 35 from Trae Young, were not enough to stop the rampant Bulls, who were led by 28 points from Matas Buzelis.

And the San Antonio Spurs defeated the lowly Washington Wizards 124-113.

French superstar Victor Wembanyama managed 14 points from the bench, with his court time still being managed as he returns from injury.
