After Action Report
The Kings rolled past the Knicks 145-97. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks are in a full-on tailspin; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
