After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Wizards 102-90. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
