After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Knicks survived the Kings 103-102. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
