The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Knicks in New York by a score of 108-85. RJ Barrett poured in 32 points for the Knicks in victory. Luka Doncic scored 21 in defeat for Dallas.
There’s something very Mavs-ian about topping the leaders of both conferences in the span of a week, and then turning around and losing a largely uncompetitive game against a middling Knicks team. If nothing else, it should serve as a reminder not to be a prisoner of the moment. No question, their recent run up to this point was the most fun the team has been all season, but it didn’t erase the deficiencies on offense they were dealing with prior to that.
