What should we take from preseason exhibition games? If you answer anything other than “very little” or “almost nothing,” you’re wrong.
This would be the case, even if the Wizards played well, which they decidedly did not. They got spanked by the New York Knicks, 117-99, and the game wasn’t that close. But remember, it’s preseason and there’s little to take from any single game.
That said, while there’s little that’s actually meaningful, there are indicators and signs that warrant observation. Like, for a second straight preseason game, the Wizards’ defense was subpar. They allowed the Knicks a 59.
