Context

From the rows this page already reads

  • The Knicks won 94-90 at the Spurs.
  • Previous appearance: Jun 10, 2026, 3 days earlier.
  • Earlier in this series: 18 points (Game 1), 21 points (Game 2), 11 points (Game 3), 13 points (Game 4).
  • The source holds fewer Knicks regular-season games than the 2025-26 regular season had, so the usual line counts only the games it holds.
