After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Knicks 93-81. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
