New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets Preview
The New York Knicks entered the season with expectations of being one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, they have not played to their full potential yet. However, they have still proved to be strong contenders.
They currently hold a 9-6 record, putting them sixth in the standings. During the first month of play, they picked up impressive wins against powerhouses like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Miami Heat.
The Brooklyn Nets are having a much tougher time. With only three wins in their first 16 games, they are stuck at 13th in the East and only a couple of games ahead of the bottom spot.
When the two teams faced each other on November 9, the Knicks completely took control and cruised to a 134-98 victory. The Nets witnessed Michael Porter Jr. score 25 points while shooting 50% from the field, but it still was not nearly enough to keep the game competitive. On the Knicks side, Karl-Anthony Towns led the pack with 28 points and 12 assists. Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges also had notable contributions, combining for 54 points to help secure the 36-point win.
