After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks downed the Kings 120-108. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
