The Knicks overturned a first-half deficit, surged ahead in the third quarter, and survived a late Nets comeback, with Brooklyn missing a buzzer-beating 45-footer. The result marked New York’s 14th straight win over their city rivals, as the Nets’ struggles continued with a sixth consecutive defeat.
