After Action Report

The Wizards downed the Knicks 112-94. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
