After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Wizards 136-117. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
