After Action Report
The Wizards took care of the Knicks 96-83. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
