"They're a tough team regardless,'' said Knicks guard Jamal Crawford, who led New York with 28 points.
"When they have Tim Duncan on the other side it's going to be tough, no matter who's out. He has a way of making everybody around him better.''
San Antonio held New York to just 38 percent shooting and outrebounded the Knicks 60-48.
"Sometimes you're going to shoot well and sometimes you're not, but there's never a reason to play poor defense, and that's what was nice to see tonight,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
Rookie George Hill started in place of Parker and scored a season-high 12 points.
"We wanted to test him,'' Crawford said. "But all he has to do is get the ball up the court and throw it in to Tim Duncan.''

(By way the Jamal, Hill scored 12 pts too)
