How it Happened
The Knicks led by as many as 18 points in the first half of the final game of a season-long six-game road trip, but couldn't hang on as the Wizards battled back for a 99-89 victory.
New York held Washington under 40 percent shooting at halftime before John Wall and Co. swiftly erased the deficit and built their own cushion with a 33-13 third quarter surge.
Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis (20 points and seven rebounds apiece) provided consistent scoring throughout the night as the Knicks connected on 10 of 21 from downtown, but New York's offense stagnated at times in the second half as Washington turned up the pressure.
