After Action Report
The Knicks knocked off the Mavericks 141-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
