Wizards vs. Knicks final score: Johnny Davis seals 118-117 win over New York

The Washington Wizards managed to quickly erase Monday’s beatdown against the Brooklyn Nets from the team’s memory. Johnny Davis served as the eraser Friday in a 118-117 win over the New York Knicks at Capital One Arena.

The Wizards led nearly the entire first half against a Knicks squad that was playing all of their top guys. Jordan Poole led the way with 16 points on 6/10 shooting from the field in the opening two quarters. Great ball movement early led to 18 first-half assists for Washington as the home team led 63-61 at the break.

With Poole, Kyle Kuzma, and Jonas Valanciunas being kept out after halftime, the Knicks looked like they were going to finally take control of the game.
