After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Kings 120-116. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
