After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Mavericks 136-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
