Former Wizard Trey Burke scored 19 points, including the go-ahead basket in the final minute, as the Knicks defeated the Wizards 101-97 on Sunday night.
The issues that dogged Washington in each of their previous two losses returned against the Knicks. Though they kept New York from having a big night beyond the arc, they allowed 48 points in the paint. No single player dominated, but every Knick who got playing time scored at least one bucket in the paint.
At other points in the season Washington’s offense would have been enough to carry them through, but not in this one.
