After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Mavericks 123-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
