After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Wizards 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
