Wednesday’s season opener against the San Antonio Spurs featured a few chances for the New York Knicks to take control and win, but a late collapse caused their downfall, leading to a 120-111 loss. Dejounte Murray and LaMarcus Aldridge were among the Spurs’ leaders in the winning effort.
The Knicks have a chance to change their fortunes on Friday when they face the Brooklyn Nets. It is the first of four anticipated matchups this season, as the crosstown team swiped the players New York once had an opportunity to lure in free agency: Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
