The Brooklyn Nets earned a huge dominant victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday evening, beating the Knicks 112-85 at Barclays Center.
Superstar Kevin Durant earned his 17th career triple-double against tristate rival, New York. He shot an efficient 52% from the floor, snatching a dozen boards and dishing out a dozen assists to go along with 29 points on the night. Young talent Edmond Suner really showed out for the Nets, racking up 18 points, five boards, and a couple of steals while Seth Curry added a needed 23 points.
Coach Jacque Vaughn reacts to the team’s big win, “I think we really came out with the right mindset, that first group really got us our established wheel, we picked up full court, really tried to put an imprint on the game. Then guys just filtered in off the bench and had an impact.”
