Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire got tangled with Washington's Wall (21 points) early in the second quarter, and both were hit with technical fouls for jawing at each other near the Wizards' bench.
The Wizards, bolstered by point guard John Wall's penetration into the lane, hit 11 of their first 14 triples to start the game and finished 55% (11-for-20) from distance.
