The visiting New York Knicks defeated the host Sacramento Kings on Friday, 103 - 100. Star forward Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks (13 - 10) with 33 points, including 12 - of - 14 from the free - throw line. The game was a turnaround for the veteran star, as he posted only eight points in New York's blowout loss to the Cavaliers earlier in the week. Sophomore star Kristaps Porzingis, meanwhile, managed 17 points despite hitting just 6 - of - 19 from the field. Porzingis also recorded 10 rebounds on the night. New York held a massive 54 - 39 advantage in rebounding overall. 11 of those boards came from bench big man Kyle O'Quinn, who also had eight points and five assists. Sacramento (8 - 14) saw a team - high 28 points and 12 rebounds from All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins also dished out six assists, seemingly playing every role for Sacramento in the loss. The team struggled from the field, hitting just 40 percent of its shots and going only 7 - of - 28 from three - point range. The Kings also struggled on the boards, as no one other than Cousins recorded more than five rebounds. The Knicks will visit the Lakers on Saturday, while the Kings will host the Lakers on Sunday.
