After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Wizards 107-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
