In dispatching the shorthanded Mavericks 128-113 on Tuesday, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart became the first Knicks duo ever to complete triple-doubles in the same game. And they did it with plenty of time to spare.
Towns and Josh Hart made Knicks history by becoming the first pair of teammates to each record a triple-double in an official game. Hart also made history for the New York franchise by surpassing the legendary Walt Frazier for most triple-doubles in a regular season, a record that had stood for 56 years.
Naji Marshall led the Mavericks with a career-high 38 points on a very efficient 17/25 shooting. Unfortunately, he didn't get a ton of help. Brandon Williams (22 points) and Spencer Dinwiddie (13 points) were the only other Mavericks in double figures before Jaden Hardy got some garbage time buckets and ended up with 15.
