After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Wizards 104-97. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
