<p>Nets win their third straight game and take over first place in the Atlantic Division.</p> <p>Superstorm Sandy forced them wait 25 extra days, and after battling it out on the Barclays herringbone they had to wait five extra minutes, but finally there was a victor in the inaugural Battle of New York - and it was the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.netsdaily.com/">Nets</a>.</p>
<p><span>Carmelo Anthony</span> led the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">Knicks</a> with 35 points, but his last second shot in regulation scraped off the front rim. <span>Deron Williams</span> (16 points, 14 assists) was then able to launch a bomb from just inside the mid-court line, but it bounced away to force overtime.</p>
<p>In the OT session, the Nets seemed energized by the home crowd.</p>
<p>"It was a lot of fun, man. You hear the crowd.", said Williams "They were amazing tonight. We just had a lot of energy for this game. We were ready for this game, and we gave the fans a show."</p>
<p>"Every time some sort of Knick contingent started to cheer, our fans got louder," added Avery Johnson. "This is what we've been dreaming about since I've been here. Its a nice feeling. I'm glad we rewarded our fans with a victory. They deserve it."</p>
<p>The teams traded baskets to start, with <span>Tyson Chandler</span> (a career-high 28 points, 12-13 shooting) capping a fantastic game with a dunk and <span>Brook Lopez</span> (22 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks) connecting on a driving layup, but a <span>Raymond Felton</span> miss (3-19 shooting) seemed to take the air out of the Knicks.</p>
<p>The Nets took over from there, with <span>Gerald Wallace</span> driving to the basket twice for scores and <span>Jerry Stackhouse</span> draining a clutch corner three - his fourth of the game.</p>
<p>The teams are now tied at 9-4 and lead the Atlantic Division. They are also second in the Eastern Conference, a game behind the Miami <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Heat</a>, and have the NBA's fifth best record.</p>
<p><i>Quick Notes:</i></p>
<p>- The Knicks shot 38% despite Chandler's heroics. With his 12-13 removed they shot a dismal 21-72 (29%).</p>
<p>- The teams combined for 25 offensive rebounds. Lopez and Chandler had 7 apiece, Anthony had 6 and <span>Reggie Evans</span> collected five of his own.</p>
<p>- Speaking of Evans, there was a sequence in the second quarter where he showed the blue-collar ethic that makes him stand out to fans and teammates. With the game tied at 31, he pulled down two offensive boards, finally assisting on a <span>C.J. Watson</span> basket. In the next defensive possession, he did it again - grabbing one off the glass and knocking another out of bounds off of Chandler. <span>Joe Johnson</span> scored and the Nets had a four point lead. Evans had 14 rebounds in 17 minutes.</p>
<p>- Jerry Stackhouse continues to take us on a tour of 2001 - except with better shooting! He was 4 of 5 from three point land and he hit them at crucial times, including another late dagger in OT.</p>
<p>- The Knicks were streaky. They had a 10 point run straddling halftime, but they missed 13 consecutive shots spanning the third and fourth quarters.</p>
<p>- In the third quarter, Deron Williams either scored or assisted on 8 of the Nets' 12 baskets. Carmelo Anthony scored 11 points on 5-6 shooting.</p>
<p>- Got this one from NBA-TV. Jerry Stackhouse outscored the Knicks bench 14-13.</p>

<p>New York's two teams finally go head-to-head.</p> <p>Now, it's all about the Knicks. D-Will vs. Melo, Prokhorov vs. Dolan, Jay-Z vs. Spike Lee, Brooklyn vs. Manhattan. And oh yeah, "Brook-Lyn" vs. "Go, New York, Go." Live on TNT. Marv Albert behind the mic. After the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy delayed the two teams from crashing into each other on Opening Night, this is only a little less dramatic. And even the delay has produced a benefit: the two teams are off to great starts, the Knicks 9-3, the Nets 8-4.</p>
<p>For the Nets, of course, the game and the hype surrounding it is bigger. It's their arrival on the New York stage. The first 12 games were like out-of-town previews before opening night on Broadway, where kinks get worked out, sets and lines changed, actors given bigger or smaller roles. As for the Knicks, it's about wanting to retain dominance in the market, dominance based more on geography (and entitlement) than by accomplishment ... at least over the past 40 years.</p>
<p>The Nets will be hosting the game at their new home, the billion dollar arena. A sellout crowd isn't just expected. It's guaranteed. How the crowd breaks down between Nets fans and Knicks remains just one of the big questions.</p>
<p>For the most part, players and coaches have tried to lower expectations ... but not all of them. At the end of the Blazers game, <span>Reggie Evans</span> talked about being interested more in a championship than bragging rights. <span>Carmelo Anthony</span> has been only a little less low-key, saying “If we don’t get up for this game, then I don’t know what games we’ll get up for."</p>
<p>Avery Johnson admitted it <i>is</i> a big deal, but kept it real. "This is a game a lot of people have waited for. We're excited about it. We're at home. I know our guys are going to be jacked up and ready to play,but we have to be ourselves. play the style we like to play, the certain tempo we like to play at."</p>
<p>One player was not so reticent on the subject. <span>Joe Johnson</span> said after being traded to the Nets that he believed Brooklyn had the better team. He's not backing down. He reiterated that opinion Sunday night. "Yeah. It's just what I feel," Johnson told ESPN New York. "I'm not gonna expand on it, but that's just the way I feel."</p>
<p>What to expect ... other the dramatics and pyrotechnics of hype? The Nets have won four straight at home and are playing better, even good, defense. They've won two straight in a 72-hours span, a solid win over the <a href="https://www.clipsnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Clippers</a> and a raggedy one over the Blazers. The Knicks, on the other hand, have seen their vaunted defense fail them this week. Over the last three games, opponents have averaged 115 points against what had been the NBA's top defense. In the last three games, they've lost to the <a href="https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Mavericks</a> and <a href="https://www.thedreamshake.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Rockets</a> and beaten the <a href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Pistons</a>. Bottom line: No one is expecting anything less than a classic.</p>
<p>So, may the better team win. (That would be the one whose fans don't have a sense of entitlement.)</p>
