After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs blew the doors off the Knicks 128-81. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
