The Spurs have gone 15-15 in 30 games, which has them as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.
For a franchise that has been unable to make the NBA playoffs in five years, they are off to a very solid start to the 2024-25 season.
Following the Knicks, the Spurs will play their next game on Friday night when they remain in New York to play Cam Johnson and the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.
