The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are never on the same page. Despite calling the same province home, these cross-town operations never seem to prosper at the same time. Ironically, the last two times they flipped spots, they did so at the other’s expense.
Tonight, it was supposed to be Brooklyn’s turn to be the punching bag, perhaps more than it ever has been. Their turn to get called little brother and actually deserve it.
But as Serena Williams or LaMelo Ball (at least outside of the studio) might tell you, the younger, more frail sibling doesn’t always stay that way.
