NEW YORK, N. Philadelphia 76ers Gear .Y. - Tyson Chandler started training two weeks after last season, searching for a better result next time when he stepped on the floor at Madison Square Garden.He got it. This time, he was on the right end of a Knicks loss.Chandler had three dunks during Dallas sizzling start to his return to New York, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 16 points to help the Mavericks beat the Knicks 107-87 on Tuesday night.Chandler thought he would be back with the Knicks this season and started working out earlier than usual so he could help them rebound from the sour taste of their 37-45 finish. Instead, new president Phil Jackson dealt Chandler to Dallas in his first big move, and left even the respected centre wondering if he was the target after the Hall of Famer said the move was in part to address some of the teams chemistry problems.I wouldnt say there was any vindication, my whole thing is just I want to have a successful year, Chandler said. I feel like Ive got a great opportunity with this team and I want to help lead this team to something special.Chandler played a key role in the NBAs highest-scoring team putting together a nearly unstoppable start that gave it the lead for good. Monta Ellis added 14 points, and Chandler Parsons had 13 after missing a game with a sore lower back.Carmelo Anthony scored 26 points for the Knicks. Tim Hardaway Jr. had 14 but was 5 for 17 in another poor shooting effort.They were ready to play from the start. We werent, Anthony said. We kind of got backed up on our heels and then we decided to come out and play and pick it up after that.Shortly after hearing mostly cheers during introductions, Chandler dunked a lob pass for the games opening basket. He threw down another alley-oop that gave Dallas 10 baskets in its first 11 shots.Knicks coach Derek Fisher yanked all five starters at once soon after but the Mavs kept rolling, opening a 34-15 lead while sinking 13 of their first 16 attempts.I thought the start was not the right way to start a professional basketball game, Fisher said. Those guys that were in there to start the game, that was a disappointment to their teammates.The Knicks then answered with a 17-2 run that carried over into the second quarter and cut it to 36-32. But the Mavericks regained a double-digit lead by halftime and gradually expanded their advantage during the second half.Chandler came to New York a few months after the Mavs 2011 NBA championship, and won a Defensive Player of the Year award while helping the Knicks to a division title and two playoff appearances. But he had a disappointing season along with the team in 2013-14 and was dealt back to Dallas on the eve of the draft along with Raymond Felton for Jose Calderon, Samuel Dalembert and Shane Larkin.Calderon and Dalembert have struggled for the lowly Knicks (5-22), while Chandler came in shooting 68.2 per cent from the field. He went 4 of 5 for eight points with 14 rebounds.Biggest thing that he wanted to do is just win and Im glad that we could beat them twice for him, Parsons said.TIP-INSMavericks: Chandler has 12 double-doubles.
