After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Knicks outlasted the Spurs 123-107. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
