Sacramento Kings vs New York Knicks Game Player Stats and Box Scores for April 4, 2024

The Sacramento Kings rolled into the Big Apple on Thursday looking to even the season series against the New York Knicks. After losing 98-91 in California, the Kings hoped to get some payback versus the undermanned hosts. Sacramento came into the game not fully healthy as well but they arguably have the better superstars in the showdown.

The visitors showed their readiness right off the gate with a 35-20 battering of the Knicks to open the game. De'Aaron Fox, Keon Ellis and backup guard Davion Mitchell provided the immediate push.

The Knicks turned the tables in the second period, outscoring the Kings 32-25. Jalen Brunson finished the first half with 18 points while he was ably supported by Josh Hart with 12. New York's bench was largely quiet, something that would need to change if the hosts were to defend their home floor.

Both teams exited for the halftime break with the Sacramento Kings holding a 60-52 advantage.

The turnaround the New York Knicks engineered at the start of the second quarter continued at the beginning of the second half. Former Villanova stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo sustained their form in the third quarter. Bojan Bogdanovic also contributed with timely sniping from the perimeter.

De'Aaron Fox gamely fought but had little support. Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk's absences were sorely felt, particularly with their outside shooting abilities. They would have made Fox and Sabonis' lives a bit easier. Sacramento allowed New York to tie the game at 81 leading into the final frame.

The onslaught that started two quarters ago, resumed in the fourth period. There was just no stopping the New York Knicks as it zoomed to an impressive 120-109 drubbing of the Sacramento Kings. The hosts erased a 21-point hole to defend their home floor just a few hours after announcing Julius Randle is done for the season.
