After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Mavericks 104-99. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
