Steph Curry, Warriors spoil Cam Thomas’ huge night for Nets
NY Post
SAN FRANCISCO — This Western swing was always going to be a tough trip for the Nets.
Saturday’s slow start and 124-120 defeat at Golden State ensured it would be a losing one.
The Nets can look in the mirror for this one.
They dug themselves into a huge hole early, and when they tried to climb out late, Stephen Curry made sure they couldn’t.
Mikal Bridges missed a potential game-tying layup with 24 seconds remaining, and Curry sealed it with a layup on the other end.
“I just missed it,” Bridges said. “Just missed the layup. Coach drew the play up for me to get iso up top. And I just missed the layup.”
SALT LAKE CITY — The Knicks could not fully salvage a two-way clunker Saturday night, and their longest winning streak of the season is history.
If Brian Daboll will be fighting to keep his job across these next seven weeks, it is not lost on Tommy DeVito that he is the one who has been entrusted to help his coach save it.
Kevin Shattenkirk is 35, a Stanley Cup champion and now a father of three with his wife, Deanna, after having a second daughter in September.
SALT LAKE CITY — An encouraging upgrade in his availability status didn’t result in Miles McBride’s return to the Knicks lineup.
This is pretty much the deal.
Uncertainty has followed Zion Williamson off the court.
SALT LAKE CITY — The “Dimes” nickname is open in New York now that quarterback Daniel Jones has been released by the Giants, and perhaps it can be a fitting team-wide moniker in another sport.
General Curtis LeMay: “You’re in a pretty big fix, Mr. President.”
Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.
Jon Berti, who started three postseason games at first base for the Yankees when Anthony Rizzo was out with fractured fingers, was non-tendered by the team prior to Friday’s deadline, as was left-hander Tim Mayza.
CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers needed just 16 seconds to get back into a game they had no business being in over halfway through.
