Knicks hope to beat a pesky Nets squad for the second straight game.
In Friday’s 124-122 win over the Nets, the Knicks narrowly survived a 21-point second-half collapse, thanks to Jalen Brunson’s buzzer-beater. Brooklyn’s Cam Thomas led a Nets comeback with 47 points, but Brunson’s 37-point performance, including 16 in the fourth quarter, kept New York in the game. The always shorthanded Knicks relied on contributions from OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and a strong bench showing, particularly rookie Ariel Hukporti’s swats and energy. The Knicks will need a similar team effort if Towns remains out for today’s rematch against Brooklyn.
