NEW YORK (AP) — The Sacramento Kings left home on a high note and are feeling even better after their first stop on the road.
De’Aaron Fox scored 24 points, Buddy Hield had 22 and the Kings routed the New York Knicks 113-92 on Sunday night for their second straight victory following a 0-5 start.
Harrison Barnes added 19 points and Richaun Holmes finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, who brought the momentum from their 102-101 home victory over Utah on Friday east and ran away from the Knicks.
“It’s kind of important to come out with a good start, especially flying across the country,” Kings coach Luke Walton said.
