After Action Report

The Mavericks demolished the Knicks 135-76. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
