New York coach Tom Thibodeau looked like a genius after another tweak in the lineup led to a rousing Knicks win on the road.
Mitchell Robinson played with an edge in his first game since being yanked out of the starting lineup. Robinson produced his fourth double-double of the season and his best game since the opening night. He had 11 points and 14 rebounds, eight coming off the offensive glass. His activity on defense — two steals and three blocks — helped the Knicks edge out Spurs, 11-7 in transition points. The Spurs came into the game averaging a sixth league-best 14.
