After Action Report
The Wizards took care of the Knicks 120-102. Wizards' offense had its way with the Knicks. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
