The San Antonio Spurs won a nail-biter over the New York Knicks. After building a 28 point lead in the third quarter, the gutsy Knickerbockers fought back to make it a single-digit game in the final period. It was an all too familiar scene for San Antonio, but they pulled out the victory 111-104.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the Spurs with 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting, closely followed by 21 points from DeMar DeRozan. Marcus Morris led New York with 20 points, and Bobby Portis collected 16 points in 20 minutes off the bench.
