After Action Report
The Nets survived the Knicks 88-86. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
