After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Mavericks 135-80. Knicks' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
