Washington cruised to a 120-103 victory over Knicks

Washington dominated the Knicks 120-103 at Madison Square Garden, stretching their lead to 36 points before resting stars like C.J. McCollum, Khris Middleton, 2024 No. 2 pick Alex Sarr, and Bilal Coulibaly. The loss drops New York to 3-1 in the preseason, with one final exhibition before opening the regular season at MSG on Oct. 22 against Cleveland.

With limited scoring options, point guard Tyler Kolek led the Knicks, scoring a team-high 20 points off the bench on 7-of-13 shooting, adding six assists, four rebounds, and a steal in 23 minutes. Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele added 11 points each. Pacome Dadiet, the 2024 first-rounder, started but struggled, scoring eight points on 2-of-7 shooting, including 2-of-6 from three, with two offensive rebounds in 25 minutes, showing flashes but little consistency.
