The New York Knicks have been in control of this series and getting +5.5 in Game 5 feels like too many points. New York leads the series 3-1 and has already proven it can win in San Antonio Spurs territory, taking both Games 1 and 2 on the road.

Even in hostile environments, this group has stayed composed and executed late, which is why they’ve covered eight straight road games entering tonight.
