After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Mavericks 91-89. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
