After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Kings 124-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
