The New York Knicks (8-6) played host to the Washington Wizards (2-11) on the second night of a back-to-back, and after muscling their way past the Nets last night, things went a bit more smoothly Monday evening.
Washington starts a pair of 19-year-olds, and while it is a rebuilding year, the team is one of the worst in the league. In fact, they’re 30th out of all 30 NBA teams in defensive rating. The Knicks were licking their chops heading into the game, and boy, it showed.
First Half
The Wiz Kids came out firing early, jumping out to a quick 12-7 lead less than three minutes into the game.
