The 6th-quickest pace home offense in the league this year has been the Spurs.Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and lead to more chances for scoring and assists, and the San Antonio Spurs rank 10thbest in in the league when playing away from home with 11.6 offensive boards per game since the start of last season.With the home court advantage, the Knicks have allowed the 9th-least offensive boards per game (9.9) in the league to the other team since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).Tre Jones has made 87.1% of his foul shot attempts at home since the start of last season, placing him in the 88th percentile out of all players in the NBA.Over the last 5 games when they are the visiting squad, opposing clubs have attempted 18.4 foul shots per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) vs. the New York Knicks, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line.
