After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Knicks 107-96. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
