Overview
- Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 28 points in his first game back from a Grade 1 right ankle sprain after a two-game absence.
- With 0.7 seconds left, Brandon Williams’ would-be tying layup was wiped out by an offensive foul for hooking Shamet, sealing New York’s win.
- The victory was New York’s first on the road this season, lifting the Knicks to 9-5 while Dallas fell to 4-12 after five losses in six games.
- Despite winning, the Knicks struggled from deep (12-for-42) and from the line late, missing five straight free throws in the final 22 seconds.
- Dallas played without top pick Cooper Flagg (illness) as its bench scored 64 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns (18 points, 14 rebounds) and Josh Hart (16 points, 10 rebounds) posted double-doubles for New York.
