SAN ANTONIO — The Knicks brought in the New Year with an anomaly: a crunch-time failure.
With Victor Wembanyama out after appearing to hyperextend his knee, the Knicks still squandered a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and fell Wednesday night to the Spurs, 134-132.
Jalen Brunson missed two of his big three treys in the final seconds, including the clank with about 15 clicks remaining. That represented New York’s last best chance at another nail-biting win, although a last-gasp jump ball involving Kevin McCullar Jr. would ultimately remove the Knicks’ final breath with seven seconds left.
