The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 126-105, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

The Knicks (4-4) got off to a fast start on both ends of the floor, leading to a dominant 33-16 lead after one. The Spurs (3-5) were much better on the offensive end in the second quarter while totaling 35 points, but they still managed to only make a three-point dent in their deficit. New York then snuffed out any thoughts of a post-halftime surge by San Antonio by outscoring the visitors by a 34-21 margin in the third, setting the stage for the easy win.

Jeremy Sochan led the Spurs with 16 points, complementing them with six rebounds and five assists. Victor Wembanyama and Malaki Branham posted matching 14-point contributions, with Wembanyama also pulling down nine rebounds. Tre Jones furnished 12 points, five assists, one rebound, one steal and one block. Zach Collins supplied 11 points, seven boards, three assists and three blocks. Doug McDermott matched Collins' scoring and also recorded three rebounds and one assist.

Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks with 25 points, supplementing them with six assists and two rebounds. R.J. Barrett registered 24 points, six assists, two rebounds and one steal. Julius Randle generated a 23-point, 16-rebound double-double that included five assists and one steal. Immanuel Quickley totaled 19 points and five assists. Isaiah Hartenstein turned in 13 points, three rebounds and two steals.

The Spurs return home to host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, while the Knicks remain home and host the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday afternoon.
