After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Knicks 103-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs steamroller is in full effect right now; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
