The New York Knicks collapse late against San Antonio Spurs, raising questions about their playoff readiness as Victor Wembanyama’s defense and De'Aaron Fox’s relentless attack expose potentially fatal flaws. Can the Knicks find solutions before the postseason, or will perimeter defense remain their Achilles’ heel?
Gavin Schall highlights the Knicks’ blistering offensive start, standout performances from Deuce McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Kevin McCullar Jr., and the costly impact of Mitchell Robinson’s absence on the boards. The analysis zeroes in on Mikal Bridges’ struggles, OG Anunoby’s lack of explosiveness, and Mike Brown’s defensive assignments, while spotlighting Wembanyama’s game-changing rim protection and Julian Champagnie’s record-setting night.
Key topics include Knicks’ trade needs for a stronger point-of-attack defender, rotations, and whether recent clutch wins mask deeper issues. Is a roster shakeup the answer to surviving the Eastern Conference’s elite guards?
