The Wizards outscored the Knicks 24-11 in the fourth quarter to sneak past the Knicks 101-100 on Thursday afternoon in the NBA London Game.
Washington got off to a slow start against New York, who went with a different look that caught them off guard early. Luke Kornet filled in for Enes Kanter, who didn’t make the trip and went to work hurting the Wizards where they feel it most. He connected on 4 three-pointers in the first quarter as the Knicks jumped out to an early lead. New York extended the lead to 19 midway through the second quarter thanks to strong bench play from Damyean Dotson and Allonzo Trier, who combined for 23 in the first half.
