Dallas has been playing down to the level of their competition recently. They played poorly but won against Minnesota and Philadelphia last week but were routed on Sunday against Memphis. They played poorly again on Tuesday but got by the Clippers 107-102. "Terrible. We had a good lead and we let up," said Dirk Nowitzki, "They got whatever they wanted offensively. We couldn't get any stops."
Earlier this season the Knicks had the Mavericks on the ropes but let Dallas come back in the fourth quarter and lost 124-114 in overtime. Nowitzki had 39 points in that game and has averaged 25.3 points and 9 rebounds in his career against the Knicks.
"We're going to have to be a lot better on Thursday because New York is an improving team and they put a lot of pressure on you with their transition game and the 3," Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle said. "We're going to have to be better on Thursday."
The Knicks are coming off a 107-99 loss to Oklahoma City just a couple days after upsetting Boston 100-88.
