Quentin Grimes poured in 21 points for the Mavericks, playing against the team he started his career with. Those 21 points are his most as a Maverick and more than he scored all of last season between the Knicks and Pistons. It had to feel good for him to go against the Knicks and have that kind of success.

Quoth HarbingerNo9: “20% shooting might not get it done.” Usually I save the recap quote for much later in the recap, but this game doesn’t get the usual treatment. Because the Knicks’ 129-114 loss last night in Dallas was about as basic as it gets.

Spencer Dinwiddie had 21 points off the bench, Naji Marshall had a game-high 24 and the Dallas Mavericks led almost the entire way in a dominating 129-114 win over the visiting New York Knicks Wednesday night.
