After Action Report
The Knicks demolished the Mavericks 106-81. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
