The Knicks got better at the trade deadline and the Nets got significantly worse. That was obvious Monday night, the best players now residing on Broadway rather than in Brooklyn.
Without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the Nets are no longer title contenders. They may not even be good enough to avoid the play-in round of the playoffs. The Knicks showcased their newfound superiority over their city rivals, coasting to a 124-106 victory at the Garden to move within two games of the fifth-place Nets. They are also now just a half-game behind the Heat for sixth with one game left, in Atlanta against the Hawks on Wednesday, before the nine-day All-Star break.
The Knicks made Dinwiddie look like a star in the first half, allowing the Nets guard to go off for 20 points on 12 shots in a disjointed opening 24 minutes. He poured in 13 points in the second quarter, including a pair of 3-pointers.
