Game Thread: New York Knicks @ Dallas Mavericks 7:00 1/7/2018 [Game #40]

O?Quinn with 8 points and 3 boards in 8 minutes plus a nice backdoor pass for an assist. We could move him for a late 1st round pick in a second, if we wanted to go in that direction.
 
Kanter with the pick to separate DSJ from Ntilikina and Ntilikina drains the 3.

DSJ gets in the passing lane and creates the Ntilikina turnover. Ntilikina comes right back and gets the block on the Barea drive. Ntilikina not even needing to jump to block the much shorter Barea.
 
Lead is 48 - 41 with 3 minutes to go in the 1st half. Lead should be bigger, but we?re making so many sloppy plays on offense. Jack and Ntilikina now out there together.
 
Ntilikina checks out after playing 13 minutes with 3 points, 3 assists, 3 boards, 1 block, 1 steal, and 1 turnover.
 
DSJ hits the 3 on an iso play against Jack to end the half. DSJ finishes the half with 5 points on 2 for 7 shooting with 2 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 0 turnovers in 13 minutes.

Knicks lead by 4 at the half. Really let Dallas keep this game close with sloppy play. Need to execute better in the 2nd half.

Thanks for the nice play by play htr10. Derek getting his number retired at the half, half time looks like a long one, Motta took a couple of minutes with his speech
 
Dallas doubles KP and he kicks it out to Lee who knocks down the 3 to stretch the lead to 10. We?re better than Dallas. We need to be off to the races now. Crush these guys.

When KP plays like this, even with little help, NYK have a chance to win the game.... especially against an inferior roster.
 
KP forces DSJ to shoot the air ball on his latest drive. Kanter hits a shot down the other end and has 13 points and 16 boards here in the 3rd. Lead is back to 10.
