36-point tragedy! The Eastern Conference s powerful 3-game winning streak recovered: Towns was on full fire with 28+12, and Porter Jr. tried his best

On November 10, the NBA regular season continues. The Knicks, the strongest player in the Eastern Conference, will face the Nets at home. This was a New York derby. Unfortunately, the Nets were too weak and did not pose much of a threat at all. They fell behind by 18 points in the first quarter. After a brief recovery, they fell completely passive in the second half. They trailed by 33 points after three quarters and the game lost suspense early on. In the end, the Knicks beat the Nets 134-98 and won three consecutive games.

The Knicks have successfully recovered recently. They fell into a downturn before. Fortunately, the team adjusted in time. With this crazy victory over the Nets, they have won 3 consecutive games and their record has reached 5 wins and 3 losses, successfully stabilizing the situation. Facing the Nets this time, they did not give their opponents any chance. They took the initiative on the court and launched a 40-22 offensive in a single quarter. Although the Nets scored 40 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, it was only a flash in the pan. They misfired in the second half and the point difference continued to widen, finally settling at 36 points.

The Knicks' overall strength is still good, and their lineup is also very competitive. They are also in a running-in stage at the beginning, but now the team is getting better. Towns was in hot form this time, playing 28 minutes, making 10 of 17 shots, 8 of 8 free throws, a double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds, with a plus-minus of +21. Now the Knicks have also placed him at the power forward position, which also makes him more comfortable on the court.

Brunson did not exert much effort this time. He played 28 minutes and scored 19 points and 7 assists, with a plus-minus value of +36, the highest in the game. In addition, Bridges showed no mercy against his old team, scoring 16 points and 5 assists on 4 of 5 three-pointers; Anunoby scored 19 points and 8 rebounds. On the bench, Hart and Clarkson both scored 11 points and were still in good condition.

The Nets were in very bad shape, so Porter Jr. still had the strength to fight. He played 26 minutes, made 9 of 18 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 25 points and 4 rebounds. But Clonney next to him was 0 of 7 three-pointers, and Mann was 0 of 2. The starter was completely suppressed on the court. The players who came off the bench seized the opportunity. Williams scored 13 points, Powell had 15 points, and Sharp had 10 points and 6 rebounds (5 offensive rebounds).
