Brunson will probably get one more shot off those inside lays it up and in.

Tends of a second remaining and that's it.

Nix with a fantastic comeback attempt but put themselves in too big a hole

and unable to get a huge defensive rebound that turned into a three-pointer for the Mavericks

and they fall short in Jalen Brunson's return to the place he started his career.

His first four years still has many friends and obviously a lot of respect here in Dallas.

Well, that was your classic fuck around and find out game.

Not fun.

Not a real fun night as the Knicks head to Dallas and see their five-game winning streak.

And first loss since the OG Anirnobie trade.

Lots to dig into for this game.

I think.

And we can talk about a lot of player performances or a lot of underwhelming player performances.

I'm not really sure if there was one player

that I would say had a truly good game.

I mean, I know Julius Randall ended up with a nice stat line

had a third quarter,

you know, run there where he was, went unconscious for a bit. But other than maybe Devinchenzo,

I wouldn't say that any Nick had a particularly good game. Um, listen, uh, there are teams in the league that you could come out with that level of effort and engagement and,

um, you know, attention to detail, like giving a little bit extra or rather not giving a little

bit extra and just kind of lullagging your way through it. A team with Kyrie Irving is not one of them.

And listen, like the Mavs, they get shit on a lot for various reasons.
