Brunson led the Knicks with 28 points as they took down the Mavericks 113-111 in <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> 2025-26 regular season game.

He returned to action after missing two games with an ankle injury and delivered a remarkable performance. He put up 28 points with three rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes of action. Moreover, the game displayed the Knicks&rsquo; shining resilience despite 19-of-35 shooting from the free throw line and a dismal 28.6% from three.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New York Knicks End Road Woes&nbsp;<\/h2><p>The New York Knicks ended their four-game losing streak on road and improved their tally to 9-5 in the ongoing season. While the team showed impeccable resilience against the hosts, their poor three-point shooting and free-throw misses highlighted key injuries such as that of OG Anunoby. On the other hand, the Mavericks outclassed the Knicks in three-point shooting (36.3%) and gave a tough competition to the winners. However, they couldn&rsquo;t survive without rookie Cooper Flagg.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mavericks Should Drop Idea of Trading Naji Marshall&nbsp;<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brandon Williams steals it&hellip; Naji Marshall slams it!<br><br>TIGHT game with under 5 to go on ESPN &#127871; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WeHxZ7a3xz\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/WeHxZ7a3xz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1991372925803368781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>There have been rumors that the Mavericks are looking for suitable trade deals for forward Naji Marshall, and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/esidery\/status\/1990940185417121961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>rival teams are seeing him as a realistic trade target<\/a>. However, seeing the Knicks&rsquo; game, it could be said that he loves to play against the reigning conference semifinalists. Even last year, Marshall dropped his career-high performance of 38 points against the Knicks and in this game, he came up with an electric performance of 23 points on 7\/11 shooting. The 27-year-old is a versatile player who knows how to handle the ball and hence, the Mavs must drop the idea of trading him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
