Knicks dismantle Kings

Thanks to one of the biggest blowout wins in Knicks history, coach Mike Woodson’s peaceful Caribbean beach plans for All-Star Weekend have been put in potential disarray.

The Knicks recovered from an awful first seven minutes to annihilate the Kings by 39 points, 120-81, Saturday night at the Garden with a barrage of 3-pointers, dunks and obscene runs.

The Knicks (30-15), who led by 50 points (110-60) midway through the fourth quarter, staged their Super Bowl party a night early as they had a great time running up the score on the awful Kings (17-32).

Their largest margin of victory was 48 points — done twice against Philadelphia in 1972 and 1994.

The Knicks also tied Miami for top record in the Eastern Conference, and Woodson will be named the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Team on Super Bowl Sunday if Miami loses in Toronto today.

Woodson said he won’t watch the game and admitted he already has plane reservations for a warm-weather city for the weekend. But he said he would be happy to divert to Houston.

“If Miami happens to slip up and lose [today], we go to Houston to coach the All-Star team,’’ Woodson said. “That will be a great achievement for me. It will be an honor.’’

The Knicks staged a 38-4 run after falling behind 18-6 early, going up 44-22 with 7:06 left in the half. During a span between late in the first quarter and early fourth, the Knicks outscored Sacramento 91-34, payback for their 106-105 buzzer-beating loss in Sacramento on Dec. 28.

The Knicks’ bench scored 82 combined points — the most in team history — led by Amar’e Stoudemire (21) and J.R. Smith (25).

“We felt we owed them,’’ said Tyson Chandler, who had 20 rebounds for the second straight night. “But bigger than that, we wanted to do it for our coach and give him the opportunity to coach the All-Stars.”

The Knicks closed the first quarter on a 19-4 romp, then started the second quarter with a 19-0 spree. They are 4-0 on their five-game homestand and close it out Monday versus the Pistons. The Knicks outscored the Kings 31-11 in the second quarter and 41-19 in the third.

The original hero was Stoudemire, who finished the night 10 for 10, falling one bucket short of tying the team record of most made shots without a miss.

Stoudemire scored his 21 in just 20:42, and looks like he’s playing at an All-Star level since his breakout game in London. The veteran’s activity enlivened the whole team after the entered the game with the club trailing 13-3 with 5:41 left in the first quarter.

Stoudemire was a perfect 6 of 6 in the first half, going hard to the hole for layups and dunks.

“You have to come in with the mindset of wanting to dominate,’’ Stoudemire said.

Before Stoudemire awoke the Knicks, Woodson lit into the club, which got off to another sluggish start.

“He got on us pretty good in the first two timeouts,’’ said Raymond Felton, who had eight assists.

The Knicks drained 19 3-pointers, including one unlikely one by Kurt Thomas during garbage time. J.R. Smith had five 3-pointers during a third-quarter romp. He celebrated madly after almost each one, gyrating and low-fiving Felton after his last one.

“When Amare’s dunking, Tyson’s dunking, we’re shooting 3’s,’’ Felton said. “Everyone was having just so much fun.’’

Maybe too much fun. The Knicks were up by 39-plus points the final five minutes of the third and Woodson still kept his key men in the game. The Knicks led by 45 after three (92-45) and Woodson went to the end of the bench.

“I’m not trying to run up or rub things in,’’ Woodson said. “I’m trying to make sure we have good balance in what we do. When it’s time to go to our bench, I do that.

“We lost tough a game at the buzzer in Sacramento and I’m sure it didn’t sit well with us.’’

The only sour note was Carmelo Anthony’s franchise-record streak of 31 straight 20-point games in a single season ended. He scored nine points (4 of 12).

“We didn’t need my scoring tonight,’’ said Anthony, who also had five assists.

One of the big momentum-boosting plays in the first quarter occurred on a fastbreak when Smith fed Stoudemire for a monster onehanded driving dunk through the lane. When he left the game in the second quarter, the six-time All-Star Stoudemire received a big ovation as his forays and spin moves to the bucket has been startling.

The Knicks hit 16 of their next 20 shots after starting 1 of 13. Struggling Steve Novak erupted during the second-quarter surge — making all four of his 3-pointers.

“It was crazy how quickly it turned,’’ Novak said.
