After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Knicks 101-98. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
