Unable to match the Knicks’ size or physicality, the Spurs dropped their 2nd straight game in a 121-109 loss. Despite some pretty good outside shooting (by their standards, anyway) and their typical low turnover performance, the Spurs simply could not keep pace with a Knicks team that seemed unable to miss for much of the night. Led by R.J. Barrett’s 32 points, the Knicks relied on dominant offensive rebounding and sizzling outside shooting to decimate the Spurs’ defense.
In particular, the Spurs had no answers for the Knicks’ back up bigs, who combined for ## offensive rebounds, which paved the way for a decisive 21-8 advantage in second chance points.
