The Brooklyn Nets were too much to handle for the New York Knicks in a 110 - 99 win at the Barclays Center on Friday. Coach Derek Fisher decided to go with an unusual starting lineup without a prototypical point guard, which presumably is not needed in the triangle offense. Iman Shumpert and Tim Hardaway Jr. got the start instead of normal starter Shane Larkin, who was regulated to a bench role tonight. The strategy did not pay off as the Knicks got burnt often at the three - point line. Brooklyn went 14 - 24 as a team from three - point land, connecting at a 58 percent clip. Brook Lopez looked like his awkward, yet effective self, scoring 20 points (6 - 10 FG, 8 - 10 FT) with nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks. Deron Williams also showed his full repertoire tonight scoring a team - high 29 points (10 - 15 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 7 - 10 FT). Carmelo Anthony had a poor shooting night for the third straight game, shooting 25 percent from the field. He scored 19 points (5 - 20 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) with four rebounds, four assists, and one steal while turning the ball over once. The Knicks will look to right the ship Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks while the Nets take on the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
