Brooklyn nearly stole a victory from its cross-town rival.
In the Brooklyn Nets' first game of the second annual NBA Cup, a late comeback attempt wasn't enough to topple the New York Knicks. The 124-122 loss once again showed the Nets' potential, but as has been the case all year, they couldn't get it done in the waning moments.
The 23-year-old microwave recorded the best first quarter a Brooklyn player had ever posted against the Knicks, tallying 19 points on 7-of-7 from the floor. Five of those came from beyond the arc, including a 26-footer at the top of the key. With no Thomas or Ben Simmons on the court, Brooklyn began the second quarter 2-of-14 from the field, resorting to catch-and-shoot scenarios early in the shot clock. Dorian Finney-Smith and Jalen Wilson added the Nets' only baskets, and until Thomas returned, Jalen Brunson took full advantage.
Noah Clowney added two from the charity stripe with less than a second to play in the period, but an 18-point deficit remained for Brooklyn with 12 minutes to play.Early in the fourth quarter, Finney-Smith caught Anunoby on a screen and proceeded to shove him to the ground, generating the Nets' second technical foul of the evening.
