The New York Knicks have now pushed past the .500 mark at 14-13 on the season with four straight wins. On Sunday night, the Knicks got their streak to a season-high four games after taking down the Sacramento Kings 112-99. Julius Randle and RJ Barrett each scored 27 points in the win and Jalen Brunson added 18 points for the streaking Knicks. Randle's point total was made more impressive by the fact that he was ejected in the third quarter for arguing a non-call and earning two technicals. All of his points came in the first half.
“It’s an emotional game,” said Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. “When he got the first one we have to do a better job and get him to walk away. I get the frustration. It was a physical game and he got hammered on the play. But he had a great game going and we can’t let him get distracted.”

The Knicks are now relatively healthy and seem to be hitting their stride. Julius Randle once again leads the team in scoring and rebounding while key free-agent acquisition Jalen Brunson leads the team in assists and is second in scoring. The Knicks are third in the NBA in rebounding despite not having a single player averaging double-figures in rebounding. The Knicks, however, are just 22nd in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio on the season. They are 14th in scoring defense on the season as well.
