The Kings really leaned on three players to find success. Colby Jones put up 25 points, six rebounds, and three steals. Drew Timme has been impressive, putting up 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Timme is really trying to make a statement and give the Kings a reason to keep him around.

At the end of the first quarter they were up 28-11, but the second quarter was awful, and they couldn’t bounce back. Duane Washington Jr had a strong game, putting up 21 points, three rebounds, and one assist. In this game, the Knicks defense is going to need to be better.
