After Action Report

The Knicks fended off the Wizards 110-103. Knicks' offense had its way with the Wizards. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
