The struggling New York Knicks denied Dallas a season’s best 14th consecutive victory with a lopsided 128-94 win over the Mavs on Saturday.
The victory was the Knicks first over the Mavericks in nine tries dating back to Jan. 11, 2006. It was their first win in Dallas in more than 10 years. “I thought we competed, that’s what we talked about today. And it’s a lot more fun to play this way,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni told reporters. You can just go down the whole list, they all brought something and turned it into a great outing.” The Knicks (23-43) also gained a measure of revenge after suffering their worst defeat on record, 128-78, against the Mavs on Jan. 24 at Madison Square Garden. Other NBA results: Atlanta 112, Detroit 99; Orlando 109, Washington 95; Denver 125, Memphis 108; Houston 116, New Jersey 108; San Antonio 118, LA Clippers 88; Golden State 124, Toronto 112.
