The Nets routed the Knicks on Wednesday night after making Jacque Vaughn their head coach.
It matches their second-longest winning streak ever against the Knicks, three shy of an 11-game run from 1984-86.
The Nets decided to stick with Vaughn earlier Wednesday after showing signs of progress since he replaced Steve Nash after a 2-5 start. "So if we can focus on defensive rebounding, we can take a big jump on the defensive end," Vaughn said."We've already taken a big jump last four games, teams under 100 points, which has been great. So definitely concerted effort."
"We weren't ourselves tonight," Knicks forward RJ Barrett said."Over the course of 82 games, game like this is going to happen, but we can't make this a habit."
