New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
I’ve been on the Spurs all season, and throughout these playoffs, and if they knew how to close games, they’d be up in this series. I still expect the Spurs to win this game at home. However, the value is with the points and the Knicks. the Spurs consistently get up big early and then turn into a pumpkin late. It’s also wild to leave this many points on the table with a Knicks team that keeps finding ways to win. Also, in close-out games against the Hawks, 76ers, and Cavs, the Knicks won by 51, 30, and 37 points. The Knicks are a veteran team that doesn’t get satisfied. I have to grab the points with the Knicks.
If this is the end of the NBA season, thanks for the reads, and see you folks in a few months.
