Road-weary Knicks blown out by lowly Spurs as offense struggles in ugly loss
NY Post
SAN ANTONIO — How bad was the Knicks’ offense in the first half?
For the opening 22 minutes of Wednesday night’s ugliness, no starter other than Karl-Anthony Towns hit a field goal.
Not one.
Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Miles McBride and OG Anunoby missed their opening 20 attempts combined, including an air-balled midrange jumper from Bridges, as the Spurs took a 28-point lead in the second quarter.
It was enough of a cushion for San Antonio in its 120-105 victory Wednesday night, with the Knicks feeling the crunch of a crazy travel schedule in March.
“We knew this one was going to be tough. Young, hungry team. Plays fast. Obviously we’ve had a tough schedule the last couple weeks,” Hart said. “Going on the road for a week-and-a half. And then go home for one game and go right into a back-to-back on the road. … We knew it was going to be tough.”
