After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Wizards 105-100. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
