It finally happened.
The Brooklyn Nets lost to the New York Knicks, 124-106, breaking Brooklyn’s 9-game win streak against their crosstown rival. The last time New York was able to take down Brooklyn was way back in 2019, the first year that Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were Brooklyn Nets. Talk about a symbolic way to indicate that the 7/11 era is, indeed, over. This was also the first time that Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton, and Ben Simmons lost to the Knicks in their NBA careers.
It was a strange game for the Nets.
