Nets outmuscled by Knicks in Garden debacle
Brooklyn just ‘not ready’ vs. city rivals, suffer third straight loss
Spencer Dinwiddie said before this season even began that the Nets “were better” than the Knicks.
D’Angelo Russell backed that up following Brooklyn’s 107-105 victory over their archrivals at Barclays Center on Oct. 19, claiming that this was an opponent the Nets “expected to beat.”
Just 10 days later, Dinwiddie, Russell and the rest of the slumping Nets had to swallow some humble pie after getting outmuscled and outhustled throughout a 115-96 drubbing at the hands of the Knicks Monday night in front of 19,221 fans at Madison Square Garden.
