The New York Knicks were able to hang on for a 113-111 road victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night as Nico Harrison's former team fell to 4-12 on the year. It has been a brutal experience to be a Mavs fan since the Luka Dončić trade and having Jalen Brunson roll through town as one of the NBA's best players was just the latest in a series of challenges. If you're going to suffer as a fan, though, it's best to have courtside seats so you can really hear all the sneakers squeaking and occasionally get in on the action. Best-case scenario a player falls into your lap with minimal force and a lifelong memory is made.
Which is exactly what happened in the third quarter when New York's Josh Hart tried to corral a loose ball on the sideline and ended up teetering off-balance. A helpful referee came in to hug him in an attempt to keep him upright and they ended up swaying a bit like someone was playing a slow Van Morrison jam to prevent him from really falling into the front row.
