After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Knicks 124-98. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
