Knicks fall to Spurs for eighth loss in nine games

SAN ANTONIO — The Knicks sank to another low Saturday night.

With Carmelo Anthony missing a second straight game with what the Knicks are calling a sore left knee, they fell to the Spurs, 106-98, and dropped further in the standings.

The Knicks (27-46) now are looking up at the Philadelphia 76ers and are tied with the Orlando Magic for the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference. They’re also tied for the fourth-worst record in the league.

It was the Knicks’ eighth defeat in the last nine games. Their magic number for being eliminated from playoff contention is down to two.
