After Action Report
In New York, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Knicks 113-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
