Down 2-0, the San Antonio Spurs put on a tremendous defensive game to beat the New York Knicks 115-111 in Madison Square Garden Monday night.
Former Blue Devil Mason Plumlee again got a DNP, but that’s not unexpected at this point.

The Spurs showed a lot of heart and their defense was radically better, but it was still barely enough to win this game. New York has really been on a magical run. Their ball movement has been as good as we’ve seen in the NBA in a long, long time. The Spurs managed to disrupt it significantly, which was a real accomplishment.
After some rocky play in the first two games, Victor Wembanyama was a real challenge for the Knicks, racking up 32 points, pulling down 8 rebounds, passing out 6 assists, and blocking 3 shots. Toss in 2 steals, and it was quite a night.
We’ve wondered for years why young big men aren’t knocking on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s door and asking for Skyhook lessons.
If anyone could turn that into a deadly weapon, it’s Wemby. It would be virtually unblockable.

San Antonio was much better down the stretch in Game 3 than they were in either Game 2 or Game 1, but the Spurs are still much less reliable in winning time than New York. The Knicks lost this one, but they’re playing brilliant basketball. It won’t be easy for San Antonio, a much younger team, to match that enough to win the series.
