The Knicks will try again to steal home-court advantage as they take on the Nets in Game 2 of their 7 game series Tuesday night in East Rutherford. New Jersey took control of Game 1 by holding New York scoreless for the first 6 minutes of the second half, and went on to win by 24. Tim Thomas is questionable for the game with multiple contusions in his back. Anfernee Hardaway will likely replace him in the starting lineup. The Nets will look again to use their stingy defense to spark their running game, which got them 28 fast break points on Saturday.
