First Quarter


The opening quarter saw an explosive start from the Knicks as they surged ahead with a commanding lead. Jalen Brunson was instrumental during this period, showcasing his scoring ability and contributing significantly to his team's early advantage. The Kings struggled to keep pace but managed to put up 26 points against the Knicks' impressive 36.


Second Quarter


In contrast to their first-quarter performance, both teams experienced a dip in scoring during the second quarter. The Kings managed to narrow down their deficit slightly by adding another 25 points while holding the Knicks to just 16 points. Despite this effort from Sactown, they still trailed behind as they headed into halftime.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, both teams battled fiercely on defense. The third quarter was marked by tight defensive plays and limited scoring opportunities for both sides. Mitchell Robinson's presence under the basket was crucial for New York as he dominated rebounds and blocked shots effectively.
