Maybe it was a premonition, but Deborah Ledford, mother of the Lopez twins, came to the Garden decked in Robin’s Knicks jersey. She had nailed the winning team.

“She’s a smart lady — Rhodes Scholar,’’ Robin said after the Knicks destroyed the Nets 108-91 Friday in the Bropez Twins’ first Battle of New York. “There’s a reason for what she’s doing.’’

Robin held Brook to a relatively quiet evening of 21 points. Robin Lopez scored all seven of his points in the first half and hauled in seven boards to move to 6-4 against Brook.
