After Action Report
The Knicks downed the Mavericks 112-99. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
