With a little over four minutes to go in regulation, the brand-spanking new Golden 1 Center in Sacramento was buzzing. The fans just watched their Kings take a two-point lead after Darren Collison nailed a three and then diced in for a nifty layup.
Then, Justin Holiday buried a wing 3-pointer that reclaimed the New York Knicks the lead. The two teams would then go back-and-forth trading leads until the Kings decided to go the “Hack a Noah” route and put Joakim Noah on the line with the Knicks down one and a minute and change remaining.
