5 Things To Know:

1. Following two straight victories, the Knicks fell on Thursday night against a Wizards team in desperate search of the win column. New York made the game interesting by trimming the lead to just eight points after trailing by 23 points with 5:14 remaining in the contest. The Knicks unleashed a 47-point fourth quarter but could not overcome the large deficit and the hot shooting from Washington. Thursday’s game was the second of a back-to-back for New York and the team received a day off to recover on Friday before returning to the practice floor on Saturday afternoon.
