After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Wizards 131-102. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
