After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Wizards 105-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
