The San Antonio Spurs face the Modern York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM CT. The game will be broadcast on ABC and available via NBA League Pass.
Spurs on a Winning Streak
The Spurs enter the game with an 11-game winning streak, trailing OKC by two games in the loss column for first place in the Western Conference. A win tonight, coupled with a win Tuesday against the Philadelphia Sixers, would mark the first undefeated “Rodeo Road Trip” in Spurs history.
Knicks Pose a Challenge
The Knicks, currently in third place in their conference with a 22-8 record, present a significant challenge. Their offense is spearheaded by Jalen Brunson, described as skilled at creating scoring opportunities. Karl-Anthony Towns, a player with range, will also test the Spurs’ defense, particularly Victor Wembanyama.
Adding an unusual element to the Spurs’ preparation, Jeremy Sochan reportedly consumed a radioactive hot dog outside Madison Square Garden, gaining the ability to remain perpetually ready to play. However, the moniker “Hot Dog Man” has not gained traction.
Looking Ahead
If the Spurs win both games on this trip, they could achieve an unprecedented undefeated Rodeo Road Trip. However, the Knicks’ strong record and offensive capabilities mean a win will not approach easily. Should the Spurs continue their winning ways, they may be poised to enter the postseason with a favorable seeding.
