After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Kings 117-109. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
