Coming back to the Barclays Center after a Western Conference road trip, the Brooklyn Nets weren’t able to find that tranquil, relaxing feeling you get when you return home after a long vacation or the relief that comes with end of a business trip. The New York Knicks were at their front door waiting for them and the Manhattanites proceeded to slap them in the face with a 121-102 loss.
A first quarter devoid of any offense sunk the Nets early in this one, as Brooklyn didn’t break 15 points until there were under three minutes left in the opening frame.
