The New York Knicks are on a roll! In a thrilling comeback, they secured their third consecutive win, defeating the Sacramento Kings 103-87 on January 27, 2026. But it wasn't an easy ride.
Jalen Brunson was the star of the night, scoring an impressive 28 points. However, the real drama unfolded in the fourth quarter, where the Knicks turned the game around. And this is where it got interesting...
After a tight three quarters, the game was tied at 72-72. But the Knicks unleashed their offensive prowess in the final period, outscoring the Kings 31-15. Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns played pivotal roles, contributing 18 and 17 points, respectively, with Towns also grabbing 11 rebounds. A true team effort!
The Kings, despite DeMar DeRozan's valiant 34 points, struggled to keep up. Russell Westbrook added 14 points, but the team's 3-point shooting was abysmal, hitting only 5 out of 30 attempts. A performance they'll want to forget!
This win held extra significance for Knicks coach Mike Brown, who was fired by the Kings last season, despite being named NBA Coach of the Year in 2023 for guiding Sacramento to the playoffs. Talk about a sweet revenge!
The fourth quarter saw Towns hit two crucial 3-pointers, while Brunson's 3-pointer and subsequent free throw after a technical foul on Sacramento sealed the deal. The Knicks' 13-0 run left the Kings in the dust.
With this victory, the Knicks move forward with momentum, despite committing 21 turnovers. The Kings, on the other hand, must regroup and prepare for their next challenge.
