After Action Report
In New York, the Wizards buried the Knicks 115-87. Every possession went the Wizards way. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
