After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Knicks 103-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
