After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks rolled past the Mavericks 129-103. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
