After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Wizards 113-106. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
