New York played a solid game today, beating Washington 95-79. Washington players and fans were expecting the game to be a bit closer, but everything went well for New York today. "It was really frustrating," said Washington star Telfer. "I thought we were going to be ready for this game, but we just couldn't do anything against them." Coach Bob seemed perplexed early on, but made a few adjustments late in the game that were too little, too late in this game but may help his side out next time these two teams meet.
