After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Kings 133-111. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
