New York Knicks 86, Sacramento Kings 82 (Q4 5:46)
What’s the buzz on Twitter?
The Knicks are up 84-79 with 6:53 to go. The Kings haven’t made a basket since Keegan Murray’s 3-pointer at the 11:32 mark. Their only points since then came on two free throws by De’Aaron Fox. – 12:16 AM
It took roughly 5 weeks and three quarters… but could the Bogey/Burks trade finally be paying some dividends?? – 12:15 AM
The Knicks have gone 5:07 in the fourth quarter and all of the shots have been attempted by Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic. – 12:15 AM
It’s been a struggle for the Kings offense so far tonight, but now they’ve hit a wall.
Knicks up 84-79. 6:53 to go. – 12:14 AM
Kings force their second shot clock violation of the night. – 12:05 AM
Keegan Murray finally gets a triple to fall after a 0-for-5 start. – 12:03 AM
This second unit is going to have to rely on Alec Burks to score. Thus far, he’s come through – 12:02 AM
Golden 1 Center is in to this one. Kings trail the Knicks 75-74 as Jalen Brunson is up to 33 points for New York. Kings get 21 points & 10 boards from Domantas Sabonis, who only has 2 assists thus far. – 12:01 AM
Knicks lead the Kings 75-74 heading to the 4th quarter.
Get ready for some fireworks. – 12:01 AM
Hell of a game in Sacramento. Knicks lead the Kings 75-74 heading to the fourth. Sabonis has 21 points, 10 rebounds. Fox is up to 16 points. Barnes and Monk have 13 points each. – 12:01 AM
Two guys going for a 50-50 ball and Malik Monk gets called for the foul? – 11:52 PM
Jalen Brunson has 33 of the Knicks 68 points. pic.twitter.com/sPfKpuphnY – 11:51 PM
If Jalen Brunson had any help Knicks would be winning by double digits. As it stands, they’re trailing by 1 to the Kings. – 11:50 PM
Kings are doing a fantastic job not allowing their missed shots to affect their overall effort. They are battling.
Just need some shots to start falling! – 11:47 PM
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis has recorded his 49th consecutive double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds vs. the New York Knicks, extending his single-season franchise record. – 11:46 PM
Maybe it’s not the league directive — maybe it’s just a bad game by the officials. Knicks running a play that’s leading to a dunk and a tech is called on Fox, stopping the play. Then Sac has to challenge a clear out of bounds and we all have to wait. Tough job, but man… – 11:37 PM
Uh oh. De’Aaron Fox is playing angry now. Bad news for the Knicks. pic.twitter.com/3CCadPmzht – 11:37 PM
De’Aaron Fox called for the tech. Domantas Sabonis immediately stepped in front of him to prevent a potential ejection.
The physicality of this game is getting to the Kings. – 11:34 PM
This should be a flagrant foul on Hart. Arm came down right on the head of Keegan Murray.
Not a dirty play. Hart was going for the ball. But reckless enough for a flagrant 1. – 11:29 PM
Josh Hart hit Keegan Murray on the head, looks like this will be an easy review for a flagrant. – 11:29 PM
Brunson cooking… Somebody on SAC must’ve said something to JB – he’s seems a little more chirpy tonight – 11:25 PM
Jalen Brunson is dissecting the Kings.
Like a damn good surgeon. – 11:24 PM
Mike Brown calls a timeout 50 seconds into the 2nd half after Jalen Brunson scores a quick 4 points.
He’s not happy with the officiating. – 11:24 PM
Fox & Sabonis: 29 points.
Barnes, Murray & Huerter: 8 points.
Kings need a lot more from the rest of their starters in the 2nd half. – 11:19 PM

HALFTIME: Kings trail the Knicks 53-48 going into the break.

21 points at the half pic.twitter.com/cA54RCd50q – 11:12 PM
Warriors/Lakers now tied for the 9th seed. Rematch in LA in early April likely for the tiebreaker. Warriors got 31 from Steph Curry after scoreless 1Q. Jonathan Kuminga 26 points. Klay Thompson 26, his first half binge was large. GSW homestand: Knicks, Grizzlies, Pacers. – 11:10 PM
Kings were 5-18 from 3 in the 1st half but they missed some great looks. This one is going to be a grind. – 11:10 PM
Jalen Brunson putting on a show in Sacramento. He scores 21 points in the first half, giving his Knicks a 53-48 lead we head to the half. Domantas Sabonis 18 points for the Kings, who are shooting 39% – 11:09 PM
Knicks have hit more open threes. They lead the Kings 53-48 at the half. Sabonis posted 18 points and 7 rebounds. Fox has 11 points, but the Kings haven’t slowed Brunson, who leads all scorers with 21. – 11:09 PM
Knicks go up 53-48 at the half and Brunson has 21 on 9-for-12 shooting — without a free throw attempt, which is just crazy. Been a very physical game both ways. 18 points for Sabonis — 8-for-11 shooting. – 11:08 PM
The Lakers had two days off going into a crucial game against a team ahead of them, SAC, and lost, and then had two days off going into this game against this team behind them, GSW, and lost again, 128-121. Brutal week for their postseason momentum. – 11:08 PM
21 points for Jalen Brunson at the half.
Domantas Sabonis has 18 points & 7 rebounds.
Knicks lead the Kings 53-48. – 11:08 PM
21 points for Jalen Brinson in the first half, and the Knicks lead the Kings 53-48. – 11:08 PM
I’m here for the De’Aaron Fox vs Jalen Brunson show. Everyone clear out and let them go at it a couple times. – 11:04 PM
Domantas Sabonis is having a big first half for the Kings. He’s up to 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Kings trail the Knicks 42-51 with 3:36 to go in the first half. – 11:01 PM
The Kings have played Brunson really physical — and it doesn’t seem to matter. He hasn’t gone to the line once, but is 7-for-9 for 15 points. – 11:00 PM
Here goes one of those Jalen Brunson scoring binges.
Brunson is on a personal 7-0 run.
NYK 36, SAC 33 – 10:56 PM
Jalen Brunson is showing off the handle against the Kings right now. – 10:56 PM
I like this game for the Knicks. Alec Burks is finding a groove. The Knicks aren’t necessarily playing a good game, but they’re finding a way to stay in it against a good Kings team. Need to tidy some things up at the half. This game could come down to coaching. – 10:51 PM
Fox to Ellis for the triple. This game is stuck in mud. 28-26 Sacramento. – 10:46 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young is courtside at tonight’s game in Sacramento. Joined by a couple other random NFL players. – 10:44 PM
What in the world is Panthers quarterback Bryce Young doing at the Knicks v Kings game in Sac? – 10:43 PM
De’Aaron Fox’s work rate on defense has been sensational to start this game. Making the extra effort on almost every possession. Started the game guarding Brunson. – 10:40 PM
Domantas Sabonis with a 13 point opening quarter. Kings lead the Knicks 22-21 after a chippy start to this one. New York shoots 43%, Sacramento at 40% – 10:37 PM
Kings lead 22-21 after 12 minutes. It has been a battle. Sabonis leads the way with 13 points and 5 rebounds. Barnes has 4 points and Fox has 3. Brunson leads the Knicks with 6 points. – 10:36 PM
Low scoring & physical first quarter.
Kings lead the Knicks 22-21. – 10:36 PM
It’s 22-21 Kings after one and I feel like none of us are winners for watching that. – 10:36 PM
Damn Sabonis is good. Always loved the move for the Kings to trade Haliburton for him. Worked out for both the Kings and Pacers though I do wonder what kind of combo Haliburton and Sabonis would have made in SAC. – 10:34 PM
Domantas Sabonis is having a great first quarter with 13 points and 5 rebounds. The Kings lead the Knicks 22-17 with 1:40 to go. – 10:33 PM
13 points already for Domantas Sabonis and the 1st quarter isn’t over yet.
Yup. The dude definitely doesn’t score. – 10:32 PM
Sabonis is dominating the first quarter. He has 13 of the Kings’ 22 points to go with 5 rebounds and an assist. There is still 1:40 remaining in the quarter. – 10:32 PM
Domantas Sabonis has 13 of Sacramento’s first 22 points. He’s 6 of 8 from the field and 1 of 1 from 3-point range. Kings lead 22-17 late in the first quarter. – 10:32 PM
Jalen Brunson is getting a tech or will be successful in getting more foul calls because he’s been incessant with the refs. – 10:26 PM
Jalen Brunson is just tormenting referee Aaron Smith and with good reason. So much contact going uncalled. – 10:26 PM
Mike Brown with a line change. Fox, Huerter and Murray out. Monk, Mitchell and Ellis in. – 10:25 PM
A block, steal, and drawn charge for Keegan Murray in 7 minutes of work. – 10:25 PM
Four early turnovers for the Kings, who are 3 of 10 from the field and 1 of 4 from 3-point range. – 10:23 PM
Knicks fans watching OG on every possession pic.twitter.com/tLC3OH5z6e – 10:20 PM
We’ve got a physical basketball game happening between the Kings & Knicks. – 10:18 PM
As expected, the Knicks come out extremely physical looking to bull the Kings. Sacramento starters responding well overall. – 10:16 PM
Jalen Brunson has been chirping at the officials the entire game. It’s a very physical start to the game. – 10:16 PM
Can’t say enough about how good Isaiah Hartenstein has been on defense for the Knicks this season. Gets a block on a Keegan Murray dunk then pins the ball to the ground to force a turnover on Sabonis. He’s the reason the Knicks have survived Mitchell Robinson’s absence. – 10:14 PM
I Know the refs are letting go of a lot more but they just let Isaiah Hartenstein do a clean takedown on Sabonis. Arm wrapped around him to the ground and no whistle – 10:13 PM
Hartenstein holding onto Sabonis’ waist like a prom photo and there’s no call. – 10:13 PM
Kings trap Brunson on opening possession. Swing, swing, driving dunk for OG. – 10:11 PM
Fox drops in a 3-ball to start the scoring for then Kings. 3-2 Kings lead. – 10:11 PM

No additional tests on his elbow. – 8:46 PM

Isaiah Hartenstein said he changed his in-game routine. He used to go to the back to stay warm when he was out of the game but now he does it just outside the tunnel.
“Y’all kept saying I was hurt (going to the locker room) so I make sure y’all can see me now,” he said. – 4:54 PM
Crazy that Jalen Brunson could become the first Knick guard to make All-NBA since Clyde Frazier.
Nearly 50 years ago. – 4:37 PM
