San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 1, 2026

The head-to-head series between these teams had produced explosive totals—266 and 237 combined points in their two prior meetings this season—but San Antonio's visit to Madison Square Garden landed firmly in the cellar. New York won 114–89, combining for just 203 points, a stunning 24.5-point undercut of the 227.5 market total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The Spurs arrived having scored 126.1 per game over their last 10 contests, yet mustered only 20 points in the fourth quarter and 89 for the game. Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 25 points and 13 rebounds, while Devin Vassell added 18 points and 7 rebounds, but neither could spark the offense when it mattered most. The Knicks, who had been allowing 109.8 points per game recently, held the Spurs to just 20 in the final frame and controlled the second half's rhythm. New York's Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson each scored 24 and 25 points respectively, with Brunson distributing 7 assists, while Mohamed Diawara contributed 14 points off the bench.

The game's structure told the story: a relatively balanced first half (92 combined) gave way to a higher-scoring second half (111 combined), but Q3's 57 combined points proved the ceiling. The Knicks' fourth-quarter defense—holding New York's own output to 34—turned this into a grinding, low-volume affair that never approached the pre-game expectation.
