The Knicks shocked the Mavericks and put them down in Dallas
Incredible things happened in Dallas as the Knicks defeated the Mavericks 107-77 and broke the Texans’ streak to 6 straight victories.
The Knicks aren’t winning with the frequency they want this year. However, they certainly know how to make noise, which they did in Dallas, where in a crazy game they defeated the trained – but unrecognizable – Mavericks 77-107(!)!
The New Yorkers looked like a different team while the Mavs were in…a different stadium, with the result that the visitors walked away from the first third with a double-digit margin and walked to victory and the 6-win streak Texans broke through.
Julius Randle was the top winner with 26 points, RJ Barrett added 18 points and Alec Berks added 15 points.
With the Mavericks finishing the game on 6/44 three-pointers, only Luka Doncic survived with 31 points while Spencer Dingwidi added 13 points.
