New York roared out to an early 76-53 lead at the half thanks to shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from beyond the arc. Towns and Anunoby lead the way with a combined 41 points as well during that span. Those percentages persisted into the second half as well.

The Denver Nuggets may have been laughed off the court by the New York Knicks on Monday night in a 145-118 defeat, but one of, if not the only silver lining of this crushing loss was the performance of veteran point guard Russell Westbrook.

Denver was led in scoring by 17-year veteran Russell Westbrook who had 27 points off the bench. Westbrook scored 24 of those points in the fourth quarter, which was the highest-scoring quarter of his Hall of Fame career.
