After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Mavericks 109-104. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
