After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Spurs 130-90. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
