David Fizdale — and a roughly 117½-hour break between preseason games — won’t allow the Knicks to turn the page yet.

Two days after suffering a 115-99 preseason home loss to the Wizards, Fizdale put his players through a lengthy film session, which included about 75 defensive clips.

“We just had to own it,” Fizdale said following Sunday’s practice. “We had no focus. We let our foot off the gas with about three minutes to go in the first quarter. Our focus on the details and our urgency just went out the window.
