After Action Report
In Washington, the Knicks held off the Wizards 114-105. Knicks torched the Wizards on the offensive end. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
