The Knicks have been showing a strong performance trend, with a recent victory over the Kings that showcased their ability to maintain a lead and close out games.

The team's offensive capabilities were on full display as they scored 112 points against Sacramento, bolstered by an impressive free throw percentage of nearly 89 percent. Their defensive efforts were equally notable, holding their opponents to just under 95 points per possession.

In their previous game against the Hornets, the Knicks continued this trend of dominance. They led for almost 42 minutes of playtime and achieved their largest lead of 26 points during the game.
