The New York Knicks defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 110 - 96, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis have formed quite an effective duo on several occasions already this season, with Wednesday's victory serving as the latest example. Anthony rattled off his sixth straight 20 - point - plus performance, while Porzingis joined him in eclipsing that total for the third consecutive contest. Overall, the Knicks (3 - 4) had five players tally double - digit scoring and shot a solid 48 percent from the field overall on their way to evening their home record at 2 - 2. In contrast, the Nets (3 - 5) could only muster one double - digit scoring effort from their starting five, which unsurprisingly came from Brook Lopez. The veteran big man posted 21 points, four rebounds, an assist and three blocks. The other four members of the first unit contributed full but modest stat lines. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson pitched in with eight points, five rebounds, four assists and a block. Sean Kilpatrick, getting the start for Isaiah Whitehead (concussion) at point guard, mustered seven points, five assists and four rebounds. Bojan Bogdanovic provided six points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals, while Trevor Booker rounded things out with five points, six boards, two assists and three steals. Anthony's 22 points led the way for New York, a scoring total he supplemented with seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. Porzingis was right behind him with a 21 - point, eight - rebound outing that also included an assist, two steals and two blocks. The backcourt duo of Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee were able to take a more secondary role on the night due to the success up front. They did combine for 27 points on 11 - of - 22 shooting, along with six rebounds and five assists. Second-year man Willy Hernangomez, seeing his first game action in four contests, led the bench with 14 points, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal. The Nets head out west to Phoenix to take on the Suns on Saturday night, while the Knicks travel to Boston for a Friday night date with the Celtics.
