After Action Report
The Knicks shocked the Mavericks 99-95. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. An upset for the books.
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.
