After Action Report
The Kings handled the Knicks 105-94. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
