So perfect, in fact, that the Knicks have systematically loaded the roster with Brunson’s friends and college teammates, completing the title-validated picture from his Wildcats years. And why wouldn’t you?

The New York Knicks had nothing to be thankful for after their 129-114 blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Both Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson had good games (Brunson had 37 points),

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.

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.
