IQ with 18 already. Somehow Fox awarded another And-1, despite taking 2.5 steps after the foul.

Refs killing NBA

Frank leaves with 5 to go before the half. He drained a 3, drew a charge, and looked good.

Agree, nice first game back by him.

Noel just gave ball to Sactown. That?s 5 times a Knick offensive player just gave ball to Sac on a bad pass

Then, Randle and Noel standing alone under hoop but they let Buddy H fly in for a putback slam.

Did I hear right the Knicks have the lowest payroll in the NBA. This is a new era under Rose.

77 points in first half is a season record. Bullock hit a 3 as time expires but he stepped out of bounds. That close to an 80 point half.

9 turnovers isn?t good tho.

9-17 from downtown is good tho.

Knicks lead by 15 at the half. Can we come out and not blow this lead in the 2nd half?

Quick and DRose have a combined 31 pts. I'd like to see Thibs roll those 2 out against better teams than the King's to see if they can score like that.

Officials are determined to keep Sac alive in this game. It?s tough to watch this one-sided BS.

It?s a good deal for Sac. They smack us in the paint and no calls... we touch them and they get up to 5 steps of continuation.

It?s one thing to blow a big lead. It?s another to blow one against a team this bad.

Randle had a wide open Frank under the hoop. He doesn?t bounce pass it. So, he just handed it to SAC. That?s 6 times we simply went to pass the ball and handed it to t he defender.

Just a matter of time until NYK blows this game. SAC has 92 points with 1:26 left in the 3rd.

Refs and NYk carelessness makes this a 5 point game instead of a 35 point deficit.

Fox just lost ball, bobbled it, took 4 steps and then scoops up the layup. It?s good. Now, we have to stop his penetration... but 11 of Fox?s 27 has come off illegal moving violations. These refs are unbelievable.

Randle should be getting these calls at MsG. Not D-Fox

Toppin with the high flying fast break dunk on the pass from Ntilikina gets the lead back to double digits

4th Q begins with A Burcs passing ball right to a Sac player. Wasn?t a NYK in sight. That?s 8 times now we?ve actually handed ball to defender. Y out Barry see it once a game!!!

Toppin with a fastbreak dunk.

Not going to lie. Glad to see Ntilikina getting a chance out there to play for us.

Back to back 3 pointers by Burks get lead to 17.

And another 3 by Burks! Lead is 20.

Wow, this Sacramento team plays some of the worst defense I have ever seen.

That's all she wrote with Burks hitting 2 straight 3s from the top to make the lead 20
with 7 left.

Burks shooting from another planet in this 4th quarter. 17 4th quarter points!

Randle with 21 points, 15 boards, and 4 assists. You almost take what he does every game for granted at this point.

Theo Pinson getting 4th quarter minutes!

Knicks win 140 - 121. Kings almost made a game of it, but Burks buried them with his shooting in the 4th.

Next up is Indiana on Saturday with yet another chance to get to 0.500.
