After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks handled the Mavericks 117-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
