After a short All-Star break, Washington and Danny Avdia returned to play and suffered a home loss against the Knicks, 115:109.
Avdia started this game this time from the bench but was effective and contributed 11 points (5 of 7) from the field and added 5 assists, a steal and 7 rebounds in the 27 minutes he received, the most among the bench players.
But Washington couldn't find an answer to Julius Randle, who beat it almost single-handedly with a career-high tying 46 points in a game where the Knicks came back from a 19-down deficit for a thrilling victory.

Washington, on the other hand, which won four of its five games before the All-Star break, is in tenth place with a record of 31:28 and is currently swinging in the fight to enter the play-in.

Kuzma and Porzingis led the losers with 23 points each.
Bradley Beal added 16 points and 9 assists and Delon Wright contributed 15 off the bench, but it wasn't enough against Randle's one-man show, which was helped by 13 points and 9 assists from Bronson and 16 from replacement Emmanuel Quickley.
Washington will now rest until Sunday at 22:30 Israeli time when they host Chicago, their potential rival for the 10th place.
