The New York Knicks got defeated by the Washington Wizards 115-99 on Friday, October 11th at MSG. The Knicks started out the gate fast, however, the Knicks became complacent with the lead which allowed the Wizards to get hot from the three-point line.
Lack of cohesion and a very poor shooting night from Elfrid Payton led the Knicks to a steep deficit. Bad turnovers by the Knicks allowed the Wizards to gain momentum and confidence. Wizards played with more intensity and they also had a great three-point shooting night, which always helps.
