Julius Randle gets a standing ovation after a nice and-one bucket. He’s a game-best plus-11 and has nine points, three rebounds and two assists. The Knicks lead the Mavericks 49-42 late in the second quarter. – 8:33 PM

Dallas’ improved defense isn’t making much of an impression on the big stage tonight: Knicks 50% shooting and Dallas has had some back-end breakdowns. – 8:30 PM

Not a good offensive 1st quarter for Mavs, 35% shooting, but bigger reason they trail 30-21 is their defense isn’t measuring up to recent efforts. Knicks are shooting 50%.
Mavs will need to follow script of win over Bulls, when they allowed 32 in the first and 67 rest of way. – 8:12 PM

Knicks scored only 80 points in OKC two weeks ago, but that was the first night of an RJ Barrett awakening. Started attacking the rim that night and comparatively to what he was doing previously, he hasn’t stopped. Playing with so much more verve now. It’s hard not to notice. – 8:10 PM

Randle started off with a couple of nice assists, then twice took Finney-Smith in for short jumpers, then hit a 3. Just missed an understandable heat check 3. – 8:03 PM

Dallas native Julius Randle scored just 2 points in the Knicks’ win over Spurs here 2 nights ago. You figured he would bounce back tonight because he almost always plays great against his hometown team.
He has 7 of NY’s 24 points. – 8:03 PM

Mavericks are playing their second straight game in Madison Square Garden with an acting head coach. Last season, it was Jamahl Mosley for Rick Carlisle. This time, Sean Sweeney for Jason Kidd. – 7:31 PM

Mavs and Knicks on BSSW tonight at 6:30. Dallas has won 6 straight for the first time since late March-early April of 2016. The last time the Mavs had a longer winning streak than 6 was during the title season. During this win streak, the Mavs are limiting opponents to 93 ppg. – 7:01 PM

NY coach Tom Thibodeau was an assistant with the Knicks in the early 2000s when Rick Brunson was with them. Thibs said then-6-year-old Jalen could do a pretty spot-on imitation of Latrell Sprewell and Allen Houston, the NY stars of the time. – 6:44 PM

As I noted in today’s story about Josh Green’s significant performance uptick, the coach with whom he works most closely also happens to be the acting head coach: Sean Sweeney. Both are having a nice run of late as Dallas has won 6 straight games. pic.twitter.com/rn0MmbWhUg – 5:23 PM

The second installment in the Knicks Trade Deadline Primer is now live.
If NY doesn’t view Mitch Rob as part of the team’s long-term plan, it would be wise to trade before the deadline instead of seeing him leave via free agency and get nothing in return
