How It Happened:
Despite the defeat, the Knicks turned in their best performance of the preseason. Doug McDermott returned to the lineup and provided an instant jolt to New York’s offense. The newly acquired forward jumped off the pine to score 15 of his 21 points in the first half while the Knicks and Wizards were locked at 56-56 through two quarters of action. Washington won the third and fourth periods to secure the 110-103 road victory. Bradley Beal led the way for the Wizards with 24 points, Kelly Oubre Jr. added 21, and Jason Smith posted 17.
