Preseason Game Preview: Knicks vs. Wizards, October 18th, 2023

The Knicks earned their first preseason and lone preseason victory against a Celtics team that sat all of its starters last Monday. Last night, the Knicks returned the favor by sitting Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, and RJ Barrett in their penultimate preseason game. New York did trot out two of their usual starters, Mitchell Robinson, and Quentin Grimes, but it wasn’t enough as Boston’s starters got off to a hot start en route to a 41-point first quarter. Grimes, Deuce McBride, Donte DiVincenzo, and Isaiah Hartenstein all had solid games, but they ultimately came up short in the end.
