After Action Report
In New York, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Knicks 117-94. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
