Knicks 119, Wizards 102: Good news and bad news as Knicks win back-to-back home games
The New York Knicks are starting to find their rhythm, as they took the second game of a back-to-back on Monday against the Washington Wizards by a score of 119-102.
New York is now back above .500 on the season at 4-3. Karl-Anthony Towns has been playing hobbled by a quad injury since the start of the season, which has hampered his effectiveness on the court.
However, he was dominant on Monday and looked like the All-NBA version of himself. Towns scored 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds along with five assists on the night. Additionally, he shot 12-for-24 from the floor and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc.
Towns looked dialed in right from the get-go, scoring the team’s first eight points.
