The more they play together, Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis have increasingly become a difficult duo for opponents to contain. That manifested itself again Wednesday, when they simultaneously went over the 20 - point mark for the third straight game. Anthony and Porzingis combined for 43 points, 15 boards, three assists, three steals and three blocks, making up a large amount of the Knicks' offense on the night. It was a different story for the Nets, who once again relied heavily on Brook Lopez. The big man came through with 21 points, four boards, an assist and three blocks. However, the rest of the starting five went just 6 - of - 28 from the field, totaling just 26 combined points. Ironically, the only other double - digit scorer was fellow big man Justin Hamilton, who compiled 21 points to lead the reserves.
