After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Knicks 96-85. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
