Spurs 111, Knicks 104: “Mike Breen is disturbed”

Since I started watching the Knicks in 1990, the Spurs have won 47-67 games every single season except the 50-game strike-shortened 1999 campaign, when they played to a 61-win pace and beat the Knicks for their first of five championships in 16 years. The one time injuries made them a losing team, they leapfrogged Boston and Vancouver to win the lottery and select Tim Duncan (Boston took Chauncey Billups third and traded him his rookie season in the Kenny Anderson deal; Vancouver took Antonio Daniels fourth; Philadelphia jumped from fifth to second and drafted a future Knick.
