After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings ran roughshod over the Knicks 118-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
