What we know about Emirates NBA Cup group play, Nov. 13

  • Friday’s action tips off with the Indiana Pacers hosting the New York Knicks (7 ET, Prime Video), followed by the Golden State Warriors facing the San Antonio Spurs (9:30 ET, Prime Video). 
  • The Knicks hope to bounce back from their 115-107 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday as they embark on a four-game road trip. 
  • Despite the loss, Karl-Anthony Towns made history as he became the third New York Knicks player to open a season with 11 straight double-doubles. It’s the longest streak to start a season since Nikola Jokić had 13 straight at the start of the 2023-24 season. 
  • Yaxel Lendeborg and the Golden State Warriors have won eight of their last nine games as they face Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, who ride a 10-game win streak.
  • The Warriors will be without Stephen Curry with an oblique tear. However, Lendeborg has stepped up. In the previous game vs. the Houston Rockets, Lendeborg had another double-double 25 points and 10 rebounds. 
  • The Spurs’ are heading into Friday’s action with a historic 10-game win streak, as they join the 2017-18 Boston Celtics as the only teams in NBA history to win 10 straight games after starting a season 0-2. That Celtics team won 16 straight after starting 0-2. Can the Spurs replicate that?

Knicks Are Starting To Groove Early

Knicks 16, Pacers 9. 7:39, 1Q 

The Knicks are starting to look like their championship selves, zipping the ball with crisp passes and early transition buckets. 

Through the first 11 games, the Knicks have been one of the slowest teams in the NBA in terms of pace, which was the direct opposite of the formula that worked for their championship run. 

However, the Knicks are rolling early, with slick passes from Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart leading to easy buckets. The Knicks have made their last seven shots and their second 7-0 run of the game. 

The Knicks have won six of their last eight games. Can they continue this good stretch?
