After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Wizards 107-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
