After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Mavericks 127-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
