Nets/Knicks in progress
I figured it was just hear in NYC because both Yes Network & MSG were covering the game.And when that happens they dont usally show the nationally televized game here in NYC. Iam watching the game right now & will try to provide Quarter updates.
The Nets lead 12-7
7:29 left in the 1st
End of 1st
Knicks 22
Nets 28
Leading scorer Lucious Harris 13pts
RJ had two sick dunks already. One where he banged it on Kurt Thomas. Check for it on Sports center after the game.
Halftime
Knicks 43
Nets 55
Leading scorer Lucious Harris(Nets) 15pts
Rodney Rodgers(Nets) 13pts
Steph Marbury(Knicks) 9pts
Penny Hardaway(knicks) 8pts
Nets: Jason Collins leads both teams in assist(6ast) & Rebounds(6rebs).
The Nets are getting alot of easy layups off of back door cuts. They are shooting close to 60% from the field. The Knicks are taking alot of stand still flat jumpers. The Nets are doing a good job clogging the lane to prevent penetration by Steph. Marbury has got in the lane a few times for layups.but He isnt able to set others up off his penetration. So the Nets can live with Steph scoring 20, if he isnt setting others up as well. He doent have an assist in the 1st half.
End of the 3rd
Knicks 70
Nets 87
Leading scorer: Lucious Harris 22pts
It seems as if a different Nets player is stepping up per quarter to carry them. In the 1st it was Lucious, in the 2nd it was Rodney, & in the 3rd it was RJ.
