"- New York got off to a very efficient start, knocking down six of their first nine shots, and they used a pair of runs (14-0, 14-3) to open a double-digit advantage, which they never looked back from. Jalen Brunson led the way with 11 first-quarter points, but most encouraging, the Knicks held the Nets to just 20 points over the first 12 minutes."
"- The strong play continued into the second quarter, as New York's suffocating defense and hot shooting helped them stretch the lead out past 20 points just a few minutes in. OG Anunoby had a fastbreak slam after Brooklyn's fifth turnover of the game and Karl-Anthony Towns continued his strong start, stretching his total to 10 points. Both Towns and Mitchell Robinson did, however, put themselves in early foul trouble after picking up three apiece."
"- The Knicks carried a 22-point advantage into the break, and they held the Nets to just 38 points, marking their best defensive half of the season. Brooklyn knocked down just five of their 20 three-point attempts through two quarters, and they didn't have a single player in double figures. New York outrebounded the Nets 28-16 and had 14 fastbreak points off of seven turnovers."
