5 Things To Know:

1. In Monday’s win over the Mavericks, head coach Jeff Hornacek’s third quarter adjustment proved to be the difference as he used a small-ball lineup to shift the momentum. After trailing Dallas by three points and only scoring 36 points at the half, New York unleashed a 31-point third period and outscored the visiting team by 19 points. Joakim Noah did not start the second half and Justin Holiday replaced him, resulting in a small lineup with Carmelo Anthony at the 4 and Kristaps Porzingis at the center position.
