Don’t be confused, that was a total weirdo game. It was so weird that the Knicks actually hit most of their free throws, including Frank Ntilikina icing the game with a pair. The Mavs actually had two last chances to tie it up with a three, but Marcus Morris put a stop to both of them. Ntilikina also helped shut the game down in the closing moments with multiple perfect defensive efforts despite having five of the tickiest tackiest fouls imaginable.
Dennis Smith Jr. and Mitchell Robinson both made terrific contributions.
