Game Recap

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 at the Frost Bank Center in a defensive battle that remained competitive until the final buzzer. The Knicks relied heavily on their star guard to anchor the offense, while the Spurs struggled to find consistent rhythm against a determined New York squad that managed to edge out the victory despite some uneven shooting performances across the rotation.

New York controlled the glass and maintained efficiency at the charity stripe, which proved vital in a four-point game. While the Knicks saw production from across the board, the difference-maker remained their ability to manufacture points when the game tightened up in the second half. San Antonio pushed back throughout the evening, fueled by Dylan Harper's offensive output, but the Knicks' bench and key starters maintained just enough composure to secure the road win.
