After Action Report
The Kings outlasted the Knicks 112-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
