SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (11-23) will face the New York Knicks (18-17) tonight at the AT&T Center. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 130-114 road loss versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Devin Vassell had 20 points and three rebounds to lead the team while Tre Jones added 14 points. Keldon Johnson finished with 19 points and two assists while Jeremy Sochan recorded 16 points in the win.
Head coach Gregg Popovich was ejected from the game in the first half and Brett Brown filled in for the remainder of the contest.
“We had an incredibly difficult time guarding their live-ball penetration,” Brown said. “They [Thunder] did a great job. They’re hard to guard. We needed to do better one-on-one defense, keeping the ball out of the paint and we didn’t. Two, we let them off the hook at times with just unnecessary fouls.”
