After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks downed the Wizards 97-80. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
