The New York Knicks delivered a crushing 114-89 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, ending the latter's 11-game winning streak with suffocating defense. Coach Mike Brown praised the team's effort as 'high level,' noting their ability to limit opponents to season-low scoring outputs.

The Spurs, who had averaged 122 points in their previous 10 games, were held to 89 points on 38% shooting, including a dismal 26.5% from beyond the arc. This marked the Knicks' fifth-best defensive rating (107 points allowed per 100 possessions) this season, showcasing their recent transformation into a playoff-caliber unit.
