Spurs win fourth straight game, beat Knicks 106-98
Soobum Im-USA TODAY SportsWith the Spurs looking to tighten up their game as the postseason gets close, the lottery-bound Knicks are moving in the opposite direction. It was a game that shouldn’t have been close, and wouldn’t have been if not for a poor third quarter from San Antonio.
Danny Green got the night off to rest up and Jonathon Simmons got his fourth start of the season. Dewaryne Dedmon continued to start at center for the squad and everything worked for the Spurs in the first quarter as they took a 33-23 lead after one. Derrick Rose, Kristaps Porzingis and Courtney Lee were joined by Willy Hernangomez (14th start) and Mindaugas Kuzminskas (5th start) for the Knicks.
