After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Wizards 109-104. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
