After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Kings 132-104. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
