Unfortunately, Knicks get a major setback with Randle not returning this season. I still hope at least Anunoby will be ready for playoffs..

Half Time .. Knicks 52 - Kings 60
Brunson's (18 pts) scoring plus 3 ball shot to end the first half, along with Hart's hustle 12 pts and 6 Dimes kept the Knicks close to the Kings in first half.
I always liked the challenge of the Randle vs Sabonis, even when Sabonis was a Pacers.
Ellis defense on Bronson in the 2nd half is what the Kings are relying on.

That Divo signing, then putting Divo in the starter lineup, when Deuce McBride have a much higher level of talent on both sides of the court than Divo

McBride got 4 fouls defending Fox .. Hart taking it to the basket twice for 4 pts.
The Hartenstein vs Sabonis on both sides of the court is wild .. McBride with 2 3-ball shots to keep the Knicks lead at 4 pts .. 5 min remain in 3rd qtr.

Villanova trio score 87 points with 20 assists. Knicks had 34 assists on 44 made baskets. Healthy OG and Mitch and Knicks might surprise some come playoffs.

This win pretty much locks Knicks in top 5 in the East.

Incredible win, i watched the replay when i woke up before looking at the scoreboard, as i always do when i have days off. Have to admit, after seeing the Kings take that 21 point lead i kinda lost hope. They made shots from any position, we couldn't get stops and barely made a three pointer in the first quarter. But we managed to bounce back and then everything seemed to be working as expecetd. The three ball, the defense, the rebounding, everything was on point. Much credit to Hart s well for creating opportunities and making shots when Brunson was double-teamed.

Don't know what's happening to Achiuwa, he was such a solid contributor in February but became inconsistent since mid March. And now with the certainity of Randle not returning we need Precious to be effective more than ever.
