How's it going Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread ....
Is tonight game a easy Knicks win having the better PG Brunson/D.Rose & center MitchRob/Sims over the Washington Bullets (Wizards) ???
On Wednesday the Wizards grabbed a 100-97 win over the Bulls without Derozan.
I don't think the Wizards are pumped up off the win to beat the Knicks tonight .. Unless KP & Kuzma are able to keep the score real close the final 2 minutes of the game for Beal's high scoring.

End of first quarter .. Knicks 19 - Wizards 21

The Knicks starter lineup should've only played 7 minute in the first quarter instead of 10 minutes vs the (18-24) Wizards

 

[Kiyaman]

Half Time .. Knicks 50 - Wizards 53
I’m not even going to post how bad our shooting numbers are in the first half.
I'm glad I didn't mention the Wizards injury report
Thibs 9 man rotation looked real bad the first half of the game.

End of 3rd quarter .. Knicks 80 - Wizards 76

 

[Kiyaman]

The Friday night Knicks showed up to start the 4th qtr. the first 2 min 89-79 Knicks

 

[mafra]

14-0 run gives Knicks 15 point lead midway through 4th. Lead now 10 with 5 to go. 98-88. As Clyde said, no fire or desire on defensive side of ball from WAS

 

[Kiyaman]

We held on to the 10 pt lead to the final 2 minutes in the game .. KP & Kuzma 107-104 Knicks

 

[mafra]

Knicks 18-27 from FT line. Randle just fouled Kuzma from 3 up 4 with 16 seconds left. He misses 1. 108-106 to go.

 

[Kiyaman]

18 sec remaining Knicks ball 108-106 knicks

 

[Kiyaman]

18 sec remaining Knicks ball 108-106 knicks

Final score 112-108 .. Guess who won?
