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.

Although the New York Knicks experienced success last season, reaching the second round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, they had one void in their otherwise triumphant 2023-24 campaign. The Dallas Mavericks swept the Knicks for their 2023-24 regular-season series. The Knicks seek revenge on Wednesday as part of the ESPN primetime game.

Kyrie Irving scored 23 points and the Dallas Mavericks improved to 4-1 this season without superstar Luka Doncic, beating the New York Knicks 129-114 on Wednesday night. Jalen Brunson tied his season high with 37 points for New York in his second game in Dallas against his former team.
