Happy New Year, fans. Tonight your New York Knicks (23*-9) travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs (23-9*) to ring in 2026. It’s a rematch of the NBA Cup final, which the Knicks won by being better down the stretch. They’ll be without Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart tonight, making this an even tougher test.
But we like their chances. Tip-off is 7 pm EST on MSG. This is your game thread. This is Pounding the Rock. Please don’t post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Celebrate safely tonight, don’t get confetti in your teeth, and go Knicks!
* Should be one more, but the Cup final doesn’t count.
