The Mavericks dropped a tough one tonight in Dallas against a feisty New York Knicks squad. Final score: Knicks 117, Mavs 109.
Dallas now find themselves on the wrong side of Knicks history after tonight’s loss. Thanks to a lackluster defensive effort by the Mavs, the Knicks are now on their first five-game winning streak since 2014. Yikes.
The game was close until the beginning of the fourth quarter when RJ Barrett helped the Knicks pull ahead. They never looked back. Here are 3 numbers from the disappointing loss.
19: The number of assists Luka Doncic had
Luka didn’t shoot the ball all that well tonight (22 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field and 2-of-9 from 3-point land), but if you thought he was to blame for the Mavs coming up short, then you weren’t watching.
