Both sides got what they wanted with Knicks beating tanking Nets
NY Post
In a different time, in a season to come, we may be inclined to wax poetic about the way this one played out. In a different time, in a season to come, the Nets will be seeking to stack wins and not losses, will be fighting for playoff seeding and not for a few extra ping-pong balls in the draft lottery this spring.
In that different time — in that season to come — we may marvel at the way the Knicks refused to lose Tuesday night, how they squandered every bit of a 13-point third quarter lead and actually fell behind the Nets with under three minutes to go in the game.
And we may get something other than the odd noise that often wafted though Barclays Center Tuesday, the sound of frustration embodied by the segment of Knicks fans amid the crowd of 17,926 who couldn’t believe the Knicks were in danger of losing this game, mixed with aggressive ambivalence among the Nets fans who REALLY COULDN’T BELIEVE THE KNICKS WERE IN DANGER OF LOSING THIS GAME.
But that’s for a different time.
