New York Knicks – WASHINGTON WIZARDS 91: 102
The Washington Wizards have not played on Christmas Day in six years. As they entered the top of the Eastern Conference, the natural thing to become their appearance on this special day. We must admit, however, that the defenders did not have too demanding. For the second time this season, easily settled accounts with the New York Knicks.
The hosts in the first half did not manage to overcome the festive relaxation. Wailing primarily in defense, let Wiz to get 60 points and firmly minimize your chances of ultimate success. In the second half of the charges Derek Fisher presented a lot better, but not for a moment threatened to conduct team from DC The Wizards led the entire 48 minutes, at the height of their dominance reached even 22 points.
Another great competitions played John Wall . A few moments before the game NBA released the first results of the voting for the All-Star Game. Play-maker Wiz leads among peripheral east – on Thursday once again showed why. Won a total of 24 points, had 11 assists, which contributed to the 17 double-double in the competition.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, when the Wizards led 11 points, his frustration was not able to stop Quincy Acy . Knicks player Walla aggressively defensive stop, the quarterback does not remain indebted to him, which led to a brief scuffle. Leader guests received a technical foul, and Acy was expelled from the dance floor.
17 points for the winners has made Bradley Beal (including 12 assists Walla). Nene Hilario in the starting five was replaced by Kris Humphries , but both played solid games. A total of 13 out of 17 they came cast throws, which resulted in 26 points. Marcin Gortat in half an hour scored 10 mesh (4-10 FG), collected nine balls and twice blocking rivals. Wizards for a total of as many as 50 points gained from the field three seconds, as against a weak Knicks is not an easy feat. New York-based band has so far allowed opponents to less than 37 painted.
For the Knicks was a 50 performance at Christmas. After losing their balance on that day is 22-28. In their ranks attention must be Carmelo Anthony . 30-year-old has won as many as 34 points (13-28 FG, 0-6 3PT), already had their break 21, so his team escaped blamażu. 16 mesh has made Jose Calderon .
Friday is the day for both teams break. Again, report to the dance floor on Saturday – Wizards Boston Celtics will take, and the Knicks will face away from the Sacramento Kings.
