After Action Report
The Kings buried the Knicks 111-73. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
