Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs look for their 3rd straight win tonight against the New York Knicks The New York Knicks have been one of the better stories in the NBA the last few years. The defensive-minded, culture-setting leadership of NBA lifer Tom Thibodaeu laid the groundwork before last year’s addition of offensive wizard Jalen Brunson, adding to a formula that has Knicks fans more excited about April, May, and June than they have been since the 90s.
