Knicks, Spurs meet again after going on different paths following NBA Cup
NY Post
Knicks-Spurs matchups have become must-see television.
It seems every time the two teams square up recently, there is significant drama.
They meet Sunday at Madison Square Garden for the third and final time this regular season.
“I heard about the Christmas game last year,” Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox said after practice Saturday. “I felt like there was probably a little something there. First time we saw them [this year] was the championship of a tournament. That’ll help you find a reason to, not necessarily dislike somebody, but you’re playing for a little bit more.”
The Knicks beat the Spurs in a thriller to win the NBA Cup back in December.
It came via a huge fourth-quarter turnaround, during which the Knicks outscored the Spurs by 16. That has been the peak of the Knicks’ season, by far.
