Weren’t the Nets supposed to be the team in disarray?
If you didn’t know any better, you might think the Knicks were the club that had a suspended superstar and had been toying with the idea of hiring disgraced former Celtics coach Ime Udoka.
The Nets blitzed the Knicks early and often in a 112-85 blowout that was never in doubt. The Nets led by 16 points after 12 minutes, by 25 at halftime and by 35 at one juncture in the fourth quarter. The Nets defended, shared the ball and shot it at a high level to win their third game in four tries since star guard Kyrie Irving’s suspension for his repeated refusal to disavow and apologize for promoting a film that contained anti-Semitic views.
It grew worse for the lackadaisical Knicks later in the quarter, on the wrong end of a 17-5 run to close out the half. It ended in a fitting manner. Randle was stripped from behind by Ben Simmons — nobody communicated that a defender was trailing him — and Joe Harris hit a 3-pointer, one of several wide open looks for the Nets from beyond the arc throughout the one-sided evening.
