After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Spurs 98-77. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Spurs are in a full-on tailspin; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
