Landry Shamet delivered the decisive plays in the final moments on Thursday night, guiding the New York Knicks to a dramatic victory over the Dallas Mavericks. A late whistle from the officiating crew, coming just after Shamet’s go-ahead basket, preserved New York’s lead and ultimately sealed the win.
The guard took over in the closing seconds, knocking down a clutch jumper that put the Knicks in front for good. Dallas had a final opportunity to respond, but the stoppage ensured the play was dead before the Mavericks could get a clean look at the rim.
The result capped a frantic finish at Madison Square Garden, where New York survived a spirited challenge from a Dallas squad that entered the night near the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Shamet’s late surge prevented what would have been a major upset and sent the home crowd into a frenzy.
New York next travels to face the Boston Celtics, while Dallas continues its road swing against the Philadelphia 76ers.
