The New York Knicks suffered a frustrating 129-114 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. Despite facing a Mavericks team missing key players like Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson, and Daniel Gafford, the Knicks failed to capitalize, dropping their record to 4-3 for the season.
The Mavericks, playing without three of their top scorers, continued their impressive form with a 3-1 record without Luka Doncic.

Despite the loss, Jalen Brunson stood out with a season-high 37 points and seven assists, showcasing his ability to carry the offense.
