The Nets, out to make Brooklyn the center of New York City's NBA universe, edged the Knicks 113-109 Friday, but not before a fourth-quarter dogfight. Brooklyn's new star Kyrie Irving didn't match the 50 points he dropped in a heartbreaking season-opening loss to Minnesota, but his 26 points included a step-back three-pointer with 22.4 seconds to play that gave the Nets a 111-109 lead that they wouldn't give up. "Ah man, I just had to get to my spot, make sure my elbow was pointed and, you know, gratefully it went in," Irving said of the shot that drew comparisons to his game-winner in game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals for Cleveland.
