NEW YORK (AP) — Bradley Beal delivered the big shot and just enough points at the end to beat a bad Knicks team.
Next weekend, the competition gets better and the Washington Wizards know being good on offense won’t be good enough.
“We have a bigger picture,” John Wall said. “We’re trying to play for the playoffs and play for something special so we have to do a better job defensively. Defense is a big factor in the playoffs because every possession matters. Offense and all that is not our problem.”
Beal scored 25 points and made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 49 seconds left as Washington beat New York 106-103 on Thursday night.
