The New York Knicks were embarrassed by the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, who completely controlled them down the stretch. Falling 99-86, New York has had significant problems with their offense, reaching 100 points just once in the past three games, and barely against the worst team in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Against Dallas, their star players fell ill to hopeful expectations, with Julius Randle scoring 14 and RJ Barrett eight.
However, the Knicks experienced one solid performance from the eighth overall pick this year, Obi Toppin. Toppin played just 11 minutes, going 4-of-5 from the field, and scored nine points.
