After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Knicks survived the Kings 102-99. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
