How Many More Games Do the Knicks Have? A Look at the Schedule After the Collapse
The New York Knicks have 12 regular-season games remaining. That’s it.
After their 123-118 collapse against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday—where they blew a 21-point lead in the fourth quarter—the math is brutal. The Knicks are 41-29, sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference. But the margin for error is thin.
Here’s the remaining breakdown: 7 home games, 5 on the road. Six of those opponents are above .500. Including the Boston Celtics twice.
The loss to the Spurs stung. De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama led a furious rally, and fans ripped the team for the epic meltdown. Coach Mike Brown, in a postgame rant, also blasted the free-throw disparity. The Knicks shot 18 free throws; the Spurs shot 34.
So, can they hold off the third-seeded Cavaliers? They’re 2.5 games back. Or the fifth-seeded Pacers? Just a half-game ahead.

The offensive rhythm is off. Yahoo Sports analyzed how the Spurs short-circuited New York’s sets in Game 4. The Knicks shot 42% from the field. Jalen Brunson had 35 points, but the supporting cast wilted.
One more thing. The Knicks are 2-8 in their last 10 games against teams with winning records. That’s a problem.
