The New York Knicks (45-31) came into tonight’s game with the Sacramento Kings (44-32) having lost three in a row. From the start of this evening’s tilt, four straight seemed very possible.
De’Aaron Fox and the Kings burst out of the gate with guns blazing while the Knicks struggled to make their shots, scoring just 20 first-quarter points. After falling behind by 21, New York, led by Jalen Brunson, managed to cut the score to 60-52 at halftime. The home team fought back in the third period to win it 35-27, and fantastic fourth-quarter play by the Nova Knicks carried them to a 120-109 victory.
