Already depleted by COVID and losing another rotation player in Jock Landale to back spasms meant the Spurs entered their New York SEGABABA against the Knicks even more depleted than ever but still hoping to end their seven-game road trip on a high note. Unfortunately, after a decent first half, they had nothing left in the tank for the second, and an 18-2 run by the Knicks to start the fourth quarter ended their hopes in the 96-111 loss.
Four Spurs starters scored in double figures, led by Dejounte Murray with 24 on 11-19 shooting, and a 12-10 double-double by Jakob Poeltl.
