After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Mavericks 91-88. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
