Knicks 131, Kings 115: Light
The Knicks found themselves in a familiar situation against the Kings: on the road, down big, in the midst of another nightmare. But a second-half explosion propelled them into a comeback win.
Knicks 116, Kings 96: Season turnaround? Or band-aid for a bullet wound?
The Knicks won in definitive fashion on their home floor against one of the teams in the NBA that’s struggling more than they are right now. Can this be a springboard for the Knicks? And ultimately does the development of their young guys make this season worth it regardless?
Knicks 140, Kings 121: This one had a bit of everything
