Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks roll to drama-less win in Nets rematch despite off Jalen Brunson night
NY Post
The Knicks had an easier time beating the Nets in the rematch.
Overcoming an off shooting night from Jalen Brunson, the home team was boosted by the return of Karl-Anthony Towns and rode another strong performance by OG Anunoby for a 114-104 victory Sunday over the Nets.
