Knicks brass had a chance to arrange a maximum six preseason games but opted for just four.
Knicks coach David Fizdale mentioned Friday before the preseason finale he could have used eight considering the new faces. But ready or not, the Spurs, angry over the Marcus Morris fiasco, await Wednesday in San Antonio for the season opener before a Brooklyn-Boston back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.
“We understand where we are with a lot of new faces, but still are going out to compete to win,’’ Fizdale said. “I don’t make any excuses. We’ll keep working through the chemistry and try to get wins.
