Knicks have no answers for Kyrie Irving in loss to Nets (New York Post)

It doesn't matter how many Knicks fans fill the seats. When the two teams meet, the team from Brooklyn can basically roll the balls out and prevail.

Julius Randle chipped in 19 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn’t enough as the Knicks remained winless against the Nets in the Thibodeau era. The Knicks, who trailed big for most of the game, got within five early in the fourth quarter, but the Nets (30-19) then delivered the knockout punch in the form of a 16-2 burst capped by consecutive 3-pointers from Seth Curry and Irving. And he was part of a 3-point barrage for which the Knicks had no answer. The Knicks were coming off two of their best wins of the season, over the Cavaliers and the Celtics. But me, I’ve never lost to the Nets since I’ve been in the league I don’t think. They were that much better for the majority of the first three quarters, toying with the Knicks.

“But all in all, it’s just about the objective, which is winning the ball game. On the first of those, Irving used his pivot foot to create space from Quentin Grimes before rising and sinking the shot. He went 8-for-15 from the field — after attempting a dozen shots in the first three quarters combined — and knocked down dagger after dagger, including a pair of 3-pointers in the final 90 seconds that halted Knicks runs.
