Wednesday night’s win, a balanced 108-85 win over the Dallas Mavericks at The Garden, was the Knicks’ eighth victory in their last 12 games. RJ Barrett was outstanding in his second straight game of 30+ points (32 points, seven rebounds, two assists), while the Knicks held Dallas to just 41.0 percent shooting, including 21.6 percent from beyond the arc.
