Intra-state rivals go head-to-head this Friday as the New York Knicks host the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks seek to establish inconsistency after going through a win-loss trend in their last five games. New York recently suffered a heartbreaking 122-123 loss to the Chicago Bulls on November 13. Karl Antony Towns dropped 46 points on 18-for-30 shooting with 10 rebounds and 3 assists, while Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges added 24 and 20 points, respectively. Brunson made a layup to put the Knicks ahead, 123-121, with 4.1 seconds left. However, White fished out a foul on Josh Hart while attempting a three-point shot. He then converted all three free throws to retake the lead, and Brunson missed a 15-foot jumper in the next possession, dealing the Knicks a close loss at home. Meanwhile, the Nets fell to the Boston Celtics for the second time in five days, though the scores were wider this time than that of their first matchup. Ziaire Williams scored 23 points, while Dennis Schroder and Cam Thomas chipped in 16 and 17 points each for Brooklyn, who were torched by Jason Tatum’s 36 points in the 139-114 loss.
