After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Kings 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
