Five observations from the Knicks’ desultory 111-104 loss to the Spurs Saturday in a game they trailed by 28 points.
1. The Kevin Knox crisis continued and the 20-year-old forward resorted to hitting the treadmill for 20 minutes after the Spurs game to keep in shape. Knox was benched for the second half for the second straight game and finished the night playing 8:49, shooting 1 of 4 from the field. He took to the treadmill for sprints after the game on the advice of GM Scott Perry in an attempt to be in top shape in wake of coach David Fizdale reducing his minutes.
