Romeo Langford’s career night Thursday helped the Spurs extend the Knicks’ Lone Star...
San Antonio Spurs' Keldon Johnson celebrates after a basket with teammate Josh Richardson during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the New York Knicks, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022, in San Antonio. The New York Knicks arrived in San Antonio not-so-fresh off one of the worst losses in NBA history — a five-point overtime defeat in Dallas that saw them blow a nine-point lead in the final 33 seconds of regulation.
With starters Jalen Brunson and R.J. Barrett out for the Knicks, the Spurs did a good job on everyone not named Randle or Quickley.The Spurs were without second-leading scorer Devin Vassell, who sat with left knee soreness. Langford earned a rare start instead, surpassing the 19.6 points Vassell averages and helping set the Spurs on course for victory in their penultimate game of 2022.
The disappearance of Johnson’s 3-point shot remains something of a mystery. He finished 3 of 8 from beyond the arc but hit back-to-back big ones in the fourth quarter.He made a pair of tough inside buckets in the final five minutes with the Knicks threatening to pull within single digits. On Thursday, Langford was a big reason the Spurs won despite Vassell spending the evening in street clothes.When Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan began shooting his free throws one-handed in a Dec. 19 win over Houston, it set Twitterdom abuzz.
