Tonight will be a good test for Alperen Sengun. His 21-14 night was impressive, but the Lakers also went small all game. Pick and roll defense will be key as Luka often tosses lobs to Dwight Powell. – 3:41 PM

Doncic said he woke up with a sore back. And when Mitchell Robinson fouled him hard 3 minutes into the game he felt a twinge. He said it didn’t bother him the rest of the game.
Anyone who has endured back issues knows tomorrow could be a different story. – 12:29 AM

I asked Jason Kidd if he was concerned that Doncic has no room for error, two techs shy of a suspension. “How many does he have?” Kidd asked. Told that Doncic has 14, Kidd said, “oh, there’s room for error. He’ll be fine.” – 11:16 PM

Mildly interesting:
Luka Doncic has a career record of 80-52 at home. The only team he hasn’t beaten at home is the Knicks (0-4).

Luka Doncic got called for his 14th technical of the season, two shy of a one-game suspension. “You happy? You happy?” he asked ref Bill Kennedy a couple minutes later, loud enough to be heard on the TV broadcast. Doncic isn’t happy with Mavs being blown out by Knicks. – 10:46 PM

Tech on Doncic. That’s 14, leaving him two shy of an automatic one-game suspension. He keeps telling us he’s not going to let that happen, but his margin for error is all but gone.
And now Jason Kidd’s putting in the subs, all but tossing the white towel. – 10:43 PM

Mitchell Robinson botchd a rotation a few possessions ago, which led to both an open Dallas 3 and 47 popped blood vessels in Tom Thibodeau’s face. Big-time makeup play just now, coming back down and swatting a Luka Doncic step-back 3. Not many guys are capable of that. – 10:20 PM

You had to figure the Mavericks would make a run. Luka is doing it almost in solo style. He’s got 17 points in the third, Mavericks have outscored the Knicks 26-13 and the deficit has been sliced to 74-60 with 2:52 left in the third. – 10:14 PM

Uh, oh. Knicks 74, Dallas 60. Doncic has 17 points in the third quarter and Mavs are on a 21-7 run. Per NBA Courtside, Doncic has accounted for 80.8% of Dallas’ points in the 3rd quarter (17 points, 2 assists, 4 points created from assists). – 10:14 PM

So much great play of late, there was bound to be a clunker, and so it is tonight as Mavs trail NY 61-34. Mavs shot 1-21 from 3pt including missing their 1st 19. Shot 27.3% overall. Doncic w/12 on 4-12. NY led by 14 from Barrett, 10-7 from Robinson. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 9:43 PM

Knicks ended Mavs’ 6-game winning streak in January and they’re off to a strong start it ending Dallas’ 5-game streak tonight. Doncic 3-point play brings Mavs within 24-16, but it’s been tough sledding. – 9:05 PM

It’s 13-4 and awfully quiet in here. Mavs haven’t given the home fans much about which to cheer. The Doncic-Brunson backcourt is a combined 1-for-7 from the field. – 8:49 PM

In terms of controlling emotions during games, the Knicks haven’t set the best example. Thibodeau’s complaining to the referees is typically loud and demonstrative. Top executive William Wesley had also been animated during games toward referees, especially on the road, and was spotted last season storming around in a tantrum behind the basket in Barclays Center. -via New York Daily News / March 7, 2022
