After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Wizards 123-121. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
