The Nets have taken three shots at beating the Knicks and have missed each time. They would really like to avoid going 0-for-4.
Their final shot at winning a game in the season series against their rivals comes Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Nets haven’t been swept by the Knicks since the 2010-11 season.
“We don’t want to get swept by anybody,” said Quincy Acy, who has worked on both sides of the rivalry. “So we’re going to come out with intensity.”
They’re also going to come out shorthanded.
Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will miss their second straight game with groin issues.
