After Action Report
In New York, the Kings blew the doors off the Knicks 124-103. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
