At this moment, the New York Knicks have exactly the same W-L record as the Mavs (37-28).
Although the numbers above would seem to indicate that the Knicks are not as dependent upon winning the 3P% battle as the Mavs, it is interesting that the Knicks boast not only the third-best 3P% in the entire NBA (39.1%), but also the NBA's BEST (i.e., lowest) 3P% allowed (33.8%).
