After Action Report

The Knicks buried the Kings 121-89. Knicks' offense had its way with the Kings. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
