After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Knicks 105-86. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
What tipped it
