Playing the second night of a back-to-back in Sacramento, the Knicks had a chance Friday to continue their quest for their first five-game winning streak since 2013-14, back when RJ Barrett was merely a 13-year-old middle schooler.
Alas. Unfortunately, we still don’t know what age Barrett will be when the ‘Bockers next rip off five consecutive wins, because the Kings cut New York’s victorious stretch short at four, outlasting the Knicks by nine despite an almost comeback in the fourth quarter.
