Wizards 110, Knicks 98: Scenes from a tumble down the mountain

Well, there was the let-down (preseason) game that had to be coming at some point.

The Knicks were (pre-)undefeated heading into the fourth contest of the preseason against the Wizards, but a flat start, combined with some poo-poo defense, ticky-tacky fouls and missing players, led to the magic coming to an end in a 110-98 loss tonight.

But hey, it wasn’t all bad. Frank Ntilikina got his first start, and actually did pretty well with it! French Sinatra had 10 points (4-7 shooting), two assists and four boards. The only thing that held him back was foul trouble (five of ’em, but some were juuuust a little dubious).

Tim Hardaway Jr. also had a good game, with an efficient 18 points on 7-12 shooting.

And Allonzo Trier once again was on fire, pouring in 18 points of his own on an efficient 7-11 from the floor.

Recap coming in a bit. See you soon.
