After Action Report

The Wizards ran roughshod over the Knicks 121-90. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
