After a disappointing loss to the Detroit Pistons last time out, the Wizards entered “The Mecca” for a showdown with the New York Knicks.
The sides had played twice this season entering Thursday’s bout, with New York coming out on top both times in D.C.
The Wizards fell in New York, 113-109.
Before the action even started, we had fireworks in the Wizards starting lineup. Newcomer Marvin Bagley III started in place of Daniel Gafford to make his Wizards debut. Gafford (concussion) missed Thursday’s game after receiving an elbow to the head from Isaiah Stewart.
First Quarter
Offense was hard to come by early on, with both sides struggling.
