After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Knicks 108-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Kings · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
