After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Knicks 144-115. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
