Both Friday night’s and Sunday night’s games at MSG between the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks had an interesting dynamic. The Nets own the Knicks’ future draft picks, so these games could be seen as beneficial for both teams.
However, with the Nets struggling after a decent start to the season, these games ended up being more of a lose-lose situation for them. They faced tough opponents like the Celtics, Cavaliers, and Knicks, resulting in a string of losses.
Despite a comeback from an 18-point deficit in one game, the Nets couldn’t secure a win. The Knicks, led by Karl-Anthony-Towns, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges, emerged victorious in both games.
Cam Johnson played well for the Nets, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Knicks, who cruised to a 114-104 victory in the second game of the mini-series.
Next up for the Nets is a home game against the Hornets at Barclays Center, marking their first home game of the 2025 NBA cup.
