After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks pulled away from the Mavericks 131-115. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
