After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Spurs 119-116. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
