9-0 start for the Wiz. Miller calls timeout.

[tiger0330]

18-4 Wiz. Miller calls another timeout. Knicks getting hammered.

[tiger0330]

Miller replaces the whole starting 5. I guess he wasn't too happy with the starters.

[tiger0330]

Frank hits 2 3s in about a minute, along with Bullock and Portis. They close the gap to 25-20.

[tiger0330]

Nits hits another 3, this might be the night he scores 20. He's on fire.

[tiger0330]

Portis 5-6 , his last layup gives the Knicks a 28-26 lead. Second unit has outscored the Wiz 24-2.

[tiger0330]

Portis checks out for Randle 10 with 16pts in 10 mins. Knicks lead 42-38 9 mins left in the 2nd.

[mafra]

Julius Randle is 34th in NBA in offensive efficiency rating. That’s higher than Kemba Walker, Donovan Mitchell and CJ McCullum.

[tiger0330]

Knicks overcome the bad start to take a 70-54 lead at the half. Portis leading the scoring with 16, Nits has 12.

Frank’s’ agent must have let him know his NBA career is hanging in the balance! Can’t believe the Knicks threw up a 40 point quarter. Guys are playing for their NBA lives right now. Where was this level of effort in December?

Wiz don't play D. They give up 120ppg, worst team in the NBA. If anyone thought the coach doesn't make a difference, they never saw Fizdale coach.

[tiger0330]

Nits dishing dimes. Come on Frank shoot the ball.

[tiger0330]

Back to back 3s by Beale has the Wiz back in it 83-78 4:29 left in the 3rd.

[tiger0330]

Frank with a nice drive to the basket. He's definitely improved on the offensive end.
