After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Knicks 105-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
