After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Kings 103-98. Knicks torched the Kings on the offensive end. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
