The Dallas Maverick won their third straight game in blowout fashion Monday afternoon in New York, dominating the Knicks 114-97. Dallas made was hot from three yet again, getting out and punishing a lackadaisical Knicks team that didn’t seem all that interested in playing this game.

The first period happened. I swear it did. Somehow, 20 minutes of hockey were played around one of the most incredible tributes I’ve ever seen or been fortunate to attend.
