  • ESPN broadcasters Richard Jefferson and Tim Legler observed that Shamet bumped Williams before the foul, while Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 28 points to secure their first road win.
  • Following the game, standings show Dallas at 4-12 while New York continues its road trip with three more games: Orlando Saturday, Brooklyn Monday and Charlotte next Wednesday.
  • Reporters called the ending one of the wilder, messier endings, comparing it to a previous-night controversial finish at the American Airlines Center, Dallas.
