<\/p>\n\n\nNew York.\u2014 Karl-Anthony Towns was again a key player for the New York Knicks by recording his 30th double-double of the season<\/strong>, in the 103-87 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Madison Square Garden.\n\n\n

Mikal Bridges added 18 units<\/strong>, while OG Anunoby contributed 15 points<\/strong>, all the starters in double figures. From the bench, Mitchell Robinson grabbed 13 rebounds<\/strong>.\n\nFor the Kings, DeMar DeRozan<\/strong> was the top scorer of the match with 34 points<\/strong>, although his performance did not prevent Sacramento’s sixth consecutive loss<\/strong>. Domantas Sabonis signed a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds<\/strong>, in addition to seven assists, and Russell Westbrook added 14 units<\/strong>. Substitute Dylan Cardwell added 10 rebounds<\/strong>.\n\n\n

Alternative Party<\/h4>\n\n\nNew York took an early lead by closing the first quarter up 36-26<\/strong>, but the game remained close in the next two periods.\n\nDeRozan scored seven consecutive points to give Sacramento their only lead of the second quarter (51-50), before a Towns layup, with 14 seconds left before halftime, put the Knicks back in front.\n\nThe third quarter was intense, with four lead changes and two ties<\/strong>, the last after a basket by Nique Clifford that tied the score at 72 with 36.8 seconds remaining.\n\nAt the start of the fourth quarter, a turnover caused by Landry Shamet ended in Towns’ three-pointer, a play that ignited the definitive breakaway. Minutes later, Bridges completed an alley-oop after a pass from Josh Hart and, in the next possession, Towns punished again from long distance to extend the lead to 80-74<\/strong>, sealing the game.\n\nWith the victory, the Knicks remain firm in the fight for the Atlantic Division lead<\/strong>, backed by the consistency of their Dominican center, who is going through one of the most solid seasons of his career.\n\n\n
