New York Knicks – San Antonio Spurs Head-to-Head Record

New York Knicks – San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Knicks suffered a setback in the last game of the 2026 NBA Finals. The first home game of the series ended in a narrow loss, leaving them with a 2-1 lead.
However, the defeat was also due to numerous questionable refereeing calls in favor of the visitors. For instance, the Spurs were awarded 24 free throws in the second half, while the New Yorkers received only eight.
In what was an overall very physical game, this was, to say the least, a surprising imbalance in the distribution of attempts from the “charity line.”
Nevertheless, the Texans proved that they can hold their own even in the New York cauldron known as Madison Square Garden.
In our view, this points to another close contest, which is why the betting odds for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs suggest the visitors won’t lose by more than four points.
