Knicks Outlast Spurs 105-95 in Physical Battle

The New York Knicks secured a hard-fought 105-95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on June 4, 2026, at the AT&T Center. The win improved the Knicks' road record and handed the Spurs their third consecutive home loss in a game defined by gritty defense and timely shot-making.

From the opening tip, both teams struggled to find offensive rhythm. The Spurs leaned heavily on their frontcourt, but the Knicks' switching defense disrupted San Antonio's half-court sets. New York built a 10-point lead late in the third quarter, only for the Spurs to claw back within three with under five minutes remaining. However, the Knicks responded with a decisive 12-4 run, capped by a step-back three from their leading scorer with 1:30 left.

Key Moments That Shaped the Outcome

• Third-quarter surge by New York: A 9-0 run early in the third gave the Knicks a double-digit lead. The Spurs called timeout and responded with a 7-0 spurt, but could never fully erase the deficit.
• Crunch-time execution: With the score at 93-90 in favor of New York, Knicks guard Isaiah Harris (hypothetical standout) nailed a corner three, then assisted on a transition dunk. San Antonio missed three of its final four field-goal attempts.
