The New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks have developed an intriguing relationship in recent years, with highlights including the Kristaps Porzingis trade in 2019 to Jalen Brunson joining New York in 2022. Their games are usually competitive: who can forget the December 27, 2022 affair, when Luka Dončić scored a 60-20-10 triple-double and led his team from a nine-point deficit with 33.2 seconds left to an overtime victory? Adding to the juice is tension between the front offices, particularly over tampering allegations.
In the 2023-24 campaign, the Mavs swept the New York Knicks, winning both encounters convincingly. On January 11, 2024, the Knicks lost 128-124 in a high-scoring game, despite strong performances from Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson, while Kyrie Irving led the Mavs with a season-high 44 points. The very next month, the teams met again, with Dallas securing a decisive 122-108 victory at Madison Square Garden, with Luka Dončić contributing significantly with 39 points and 11 assists.
