After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Wizards 102-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
