After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Mavericks 128-99. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
