In a rematch of Friday’s game, New York Knicks are hosting once again the Brooklyn Nets. The Knicks overcame a fourth quarter Nets comeback and came up with a hard-fought win. The Knicks have been mediocre this season, evident from their 6-6 record, and the arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns doesn’t seem to boost the team into the top of the East as it was expected. On the other hand, the Nets have been performing surprisingly well, and are one of the best covering teams in the NBA this season.
Below is a detailed analysis for the Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks game.
