After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Knicks 108-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
