After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Wizards 132-90. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
