After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Knicks 131-120. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Knicks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
