After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Mavericks 148-99. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
