After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards edged the Knicks 105-96. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · 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.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
