The city that never sleeps was especially restless after the Knicks fell 117-112 to the Brooklyn Nets last night. In a game many tried and failed to downplay, New York fell behind by plenty before a long, late comeback crested in the final seconds, then died with the game’s penultimate whistle. It’s hard to say what we learned from this one — we already know the Nets are good, and they were. Already know these Knicks inspire belief and pride, and they perspired and inspired. Already know it sucks when the refs let you down, and that they did.
Nets 117, Knicks 112: “What a bastard”
