After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Knicks survived the Spurs 109-107. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
