After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Kings 143-115. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed.
