On April 7, Beijing time, the Nets challenged the Knicks away, the last New York derby of the season! In the last game, Irving scored 42 points at home to lead the team to win the Rockets, and today against the 12th Knicks in the East, this game is bound to be won. This is also the first time that Durant and Irving have played together in Madison Gardens, and Curry Jr. has made a comeback.
The Knicks currently have a record of 35 wins and 44 losses this season, and the team has decided not to qualify for the playoffs. Rose (ankle), Randall (quadriceps), Noel (foot) and others will still not play in this game, and today's starting five tigers: Burks, Barrett, Topping, Fournier and Jerry Joe Sims.
I don't know if it was because of back-to-back reasons, the first half of the game ended, the Nets 50-67 actually trailed the Knicks by 17 points! In the second quarter, the Knicks team exploded for 38 points, compared to the Nets with only 25 points, and the net win in the single quarter was 13 points to directly open the point difference.
The Knicks lads were in full swing, and at the end of the half, 3 people scored in double figures, And Burks shot 6 of 8, 3 of 4 from three points to get a high of 18 points! After Burkes finished playing with Barrett, he scored 5 points in the first quarter, and Barrett carried the team's offensive banner in the second quarter, scoring 11 points on 3-of-6! First, he entered the enemy camp, surrounded the mid-pointer and assisted Gibson's bottom corner three-pointer, then turned the gyro under the basket and lit up Ade to play 2+1.
Topin also contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 4-of-6 shooting. In the second quarter, the Knicks rained three-point rain at home, Barrett arced a step up and shot, three-point accurate hits, and then Topping counterattacked to find the bottom corner, and Fournier received the ball for three points! The team threw in 11 three-pointers in the first half, compared to the Nets only 5, which is not difficult to lead.
The Nets were the only one on the Nets who scored in double figures, and the Immortals continued yesterday's state, shooting 6-of-13 at halftime and 1-of-4 from three-point range for 16 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. Uncle Drew showed up again, butterflies wore flower drills and people sewed one over two, dashing and urgent stop dry pull jump shot hit! This ball wind loves love.
The Grim Reapers have had a bad start to the last two games, KD scored nine points on 3-of-7 shooting in the first half, and Seth Curry scored two three-pointers in the first quarter of his comeback. The highest score on the bench was Clarkston's 6. There are still too few people in the team who can stand up and respond.
Easy side to fight again, Durant Irving at the same time on the court to lead the team, helpless Nets is really unable to shoot and old foul. On the contrary, the Knicks played hi, and it was the air relay dunk and the outside three separate fire, and the point difference was about to run 20 points. Sims' physical fitness is really top.
Fortunately, death finally woke up, and durant's consecutive outside three-pointer + breakthrough in the end of the game made a kill, and successfully chased the point difference to only 10 points in the third quarter! In this quarter, KD7 was 3 and 2 of 5 three points to score 10 points. Although the hit rate does not seem to be high, it is critical.
The Finale Nets finally played the aggressiveness they deserved! Mills and Irving scored three consecutive points, and as Irving steals to help Fly Durant dunk, the Nets chased the gap to just one point difference of 11-2! I have to say that Mishin is the X factor of the team.
The Knicks lads are really tough, but they are facing Durant! In the last minute, the Grim Reaper led the team to a continuous untangling, and with the three-point continuation of Curry Jr. and Mills, the game had no suspense, and the final score was fixed at 110-98. The Knicks suddenly lost power in the second half, and the whole team only scored 31 points, while Durant alone scored 23 points in the second half.
The Nets completed a 21-point comeback! Durant scored 32 points, 10 boards, 11 assists and 2 blocks on 11-of-22 shooting! Irving 24 points, 8 boards, 7 assists, 3 assists, Mills 15 points, 2 assists, Sesculi 15 points, 2 boards and 2 assists; Knicks side, Barrett 23 points, 7 boards and 7 assists, Topping 19 points, 5 boards and 3 assists, Sims 10 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 3 caps, Burks 24 points and 4 boards.
Although the Nets won, both KD and Irving played 42 minutes back-to-back! The Nets' next game is the day after tomorrow to play the Cavaliers at home, do you think it should be a rotation to take the double giants?
