The Nets should have been rested coming off a five-day break between games, but instead it appeared they rusted over the holidays. Rather than being fired up to face the crosstown rival Knicks, the Nets turned in far and away their worst offensive performance of the season in a 94-82 loss Thursday night at Barclays Center.
They fell behind the lowly Knicks by 23 points late in the third period and never got closer than 15 the rest of the way.
