NBA Mavericks rolled to the most lopsided victory in their 30-year franchise history by thrashing New York Knicks 128-78 on Sunday.

Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry each scored 20 points as Mavericks, who notched their eighth victory in a row over the Knicks in the past four years, were playing without Jason Kidd due to a family matter and Erick Dampier because of a left knee injury.

Drew Gooden, filling in for Dampier, scored 15 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for Dallas, which broke the team record for win margin set in a 149-104 romp over Golden State in 1985.

It was the Knicks' worst home loss and the second-largest loss in New York's 64-year history, after a 162-100 loss at Syracuse on December 25, 1960.

The Mavericks shot 58 percent from the field, including 12-of- 22 from 3-point range, and made 16 of 17 free throws.

Dallas led by as much as 53 in the blowout, the largest lead any team has enjoyed over another in the NBA this season, an honor previously held by the Knicks earlier this month when they led Indiana by 48 points.

The Mavericks went 15-for-19 in the third quarter, including 5- of-6 shooting by German star Nowitzki, who scored 13 points in the quarter after just seven in the first half.
