After Action Report
In New York, the Nets downed the Knicks 107-96. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
