After Action Report

The Wizards demolished the Knicks 133-96. Wizards' offense had its way with the Knicks. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
