Knicks End Spurs' 11-Game Win Streak

Jalen Brunson scored 25 points as the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 114-89, ending their 11-game NBA winning streak.

Despite Victor Wembanyama's 25 points, 13 rebounds, and four blocked shots, the Spurs couldn't overcome their season-high 22 turnovers and poor three-point shooting (26.5%). The Knicks, who had six players in double figures, seized control with a 26-2 scoring run spanning the first and second quarters.

The loss sees the Spurs lose ground in their pursuit of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference. The Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 30 points, improved to 47-15 with a 100-87 win over Dallas. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves remain in playoff contention after defeating the Denver Nuggets 117-108.
