After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Mavericks 112-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
