After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings ran roughshod over the Knicks 115-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
