The New York Knicks’ performance in San Antonio finally left something to be said to the armchair quarterbacks, pessimistic fans, and Carmelo Anthony about the triangle offense: it can work if you try.
Mindaugas Kuzminskas had a second consecutive impressive outing. Willy Hernangomez had a career-high in points after a dramatic third quarter. Derrick Rose (24 points, 5 assists) helped move the ball around the court quite well without Anthony on the court.
The Knicks even showed some signs of defense in a near comeback in the third quarter against the San Antonio Spurs, holding them to 17 points and scoring 31 of their own.
