San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks: Game Preview

The Knicks fell to a record of 2-4 and stopoed the drought early with a convincing victory over the LA Clippers by a wide margin of 14 points. Credit goes to Julius Randle who had his best game so far this season with 27 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.

It was also good for the Knicks to have RJ Barrett chipping in 26 points along with six rebounds and four assists to come behind the production of Randle. Mitchell Robinson feasted on the glass grabbing 15 rebounds while also scoring 13 points.

Meanwhile, the Spurs, who secured a shocking back-to-back wins against the Phoenix Suns, lost their next two games against the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers.

It has been an up-and-down production for Victor Wembanyama as he only had 13 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks against the Pacers. Doug McDermott came out as the team's most potent scorer with 17 points coming off the bench for the Spurs.
