After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Mavericks 126-109. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
