"The Knicks ' road struggles don't seem to apply when the trip is only across the river. Barclays Center once again felt like a second home Monday night, packed with Knicks fans and MSG-style vendors lining the outdoor plaza. And once again, the visitors made themselves comfortable, beating the Nets 113-100 in the latest interborough matchup. Karl-Anthony Towns was unstoppable, finishing with 37 points and 12 rebounds as the Knicks improved to 10-6 and 2-5 on the road this season."
"Despite the recent one-sided history and the lopsided fan presence, the Nets didn't ease into the night. Brooklyn came out with the kind of energy it lacked in Sunday's loss in Toronto. The Nets were quicker to loose balls, sharper defensively and far more engaged from the opening tip, looking like a team intent on flushing a disappointing effort rather than letting it linger."
The Knicks defeated the Nets 113-100 at Barclays Center, where fans and MSG-style vendors created a homelike atmosphere. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 37 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. The Knicks improved to 10-6 overall and 2-5 on the road; Brooklyn dropped to 3-14 and remained winless at home, extending a 12-game losing streak to New York. Brooklyn started energetically and led 26-24 after one, with Noah Clowney scoring eight early points. The Nets drew more free throws early, but the Knicks opened the second quarter on a 13-2 run, fueled by Towns' aggression. Brooklyn's offense stalled and rookie Egor Demin was passive early.
