Context

From the rows this page already reads

  • The Spurs lost 105-95 at home against the Knicks.
  • Previous appearance: May 30, 2026, 4 days earlier.
  • No earlier games in this series.
  • The source holds fewer Spurs regular-season games than the 2025-26 regular season had, so the usual line counts only the games it holds.
