After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Knicks 106-103. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
