After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Knicks 116-115. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
