And 12 of the 22 points belong to Randle.
The Wizards got Bagley in a trade

It look like Hart's out this game, and the Wiz 2nd unit bench went on a 14-5 run to take a 6 point lead over the Knicks.

Tonight the perfect example of why watching modern NBA games Jan-April a colossal waste of one’s time.

Back to backs… too many games… teams and players don’t care….

Knicks are 4-21 from downtown. They’ve taken 44 shots. They have 9 assists. It’s not basketball, it’s a shoot around….

An unwatchable first half. Thankfully, I only saw the final 10 seconds, so I saved myself the misery.

How is this a product people and networks pay for? Unbelievable.

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 73 - Wiz 72
Mafra .. Made a good point!
Bagley giving Knicks problems having 3 blocks, 2 steals, 7 rebounds, 12 pts on 6-9 FG shooting

Game at MSG but WAS bench has a 30-7 scoring edge over Knicks bench. 10 games since the trade and clearly the NyK second unit is not good.

Knicks turn ball over after a TO. 86-86 NY
