The Knicks survived the Kings 101-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
