After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Knicks 95-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
