After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Knicks 117-115. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
