Just three weeks after a dispiriting loss in Madison Square Garden, the San Antonio Spurs (40-29) overpowered a road-weary New York Knicks (13-56) team with hot shooting (53.4%) on 31 assists to take their seventh straight win. Six Spurs scored in double digits led by LaMarcus Aldridge (18 points, 11 rebounds).

- NBA great Walt Frazier described the opening minutes as having ‘the pace of a pre-season game.’ The New York iteration of DeAndre Jordan now makes passes out of the high post(!) - netting two early assists to the Knick starting guards.
