GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd believe the Dallas Mavericks could have won back-to-back NBA championships had owner Mark Cuban opted to keep the team together last season.

"I definitely think that we had an opportunity to go back-to-back and unfortunately things were blown up," Chandler said on the eve of the undefeated Knicks (3-0) hosting Dallas (4-1) Friday at Madison Square Garden.
