NEW YORK - Jalen Brunson scored 20 points Wednesday night for the New York Knicks, who snapped out of their slump with a historic 120-66 thumping of the visiting Brooklyn Nets.

The win was the most lopsided in franchise history for the Knicks, easily surpassing a trio of 48-point wins, the most recent of which was a 130-82 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers on Apr. 21, 1994.

A 3-pointer by the Nets' Danny Wolf with 8.5 seconds left prevented New York from earning the largest-margin victory in the NBA this season. The Charlotte Hornets blew out the Utah Jazz 150-95 on Jan. 10.

The 66 points for the Nets were the fewest by an NBA team since March 16, 2015, when the Hornets lost to the Jazz 94-66. It was the fewest points allowed by the Knicks since they beat the Washington Wizards 103-65 on April 13, 2012.

The 66 points for the Nets were their fewest since a 90-65 loss to the Miami Heat on March 12, 2005, when the franchise was based in New Jersey.
