Quick Recap: New Jersey Nets 113, New York Knicks 93

In an absolutely stunning reversal of fortune, the Nets withstood an early Knicks barrage trailing by as many as 16, and came back to throttle New York at the Garden, 113-93 to get their 7th win of the season.

  • The Nets and Knicks were polar opposites from beyond the arc tonight, with the Nets finishing a season-best 14-24, while the Knicks missed all 18 of their long-range attempts. The Knicks set an NBA record for most three attempts without a make.
  • In his return from injury, Courtney Lee was spectacular, finishing with 25 points, including 5-7 from three and 9-16 overall.
  • Devin Harris led all scorers with 31 points on 13-21 shooting.
  • Good all around game for Brook Lopez, who finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.
  • Terrence Williams proved he could be an asset without scoring, finishing with 11 rebounds, 7 assists and only 3 points.
  • David Lee led the Knicks with 23 points, adding in 6 rebounds.
  • The Nets actually lost Yi Jianlian to an ankle injury with about two minutes to go in the first quarter. No timetable given for his injury, but it looked like a nasty turn for Yi on the replays.

It is not that I don't think Yi is not a nice guy, I'm sure he is. But a nice guy playing the 4 in the NBA is going to get you only 7 wins. I can't watch the game if Yi is playing. Do your fans a favor ship Yi back to Milwauke.

While the results speak for themselves regarding Yi leaving the game and the Nets winning, I can see why the team is hesitant to take him out of the starting lineup. The Nets did not see the trade that brought him here as a giveawy of RJ, they really had high hopes for Yi, both on the court and for the fans he would bring to the game. Take him out of the starting lineup now and his confidence is shot. Forever. Oh, well, JUST DO IT. (That's a great phrase. where have I heard that before?)

Yup hopefully the Yi experiment is over, it should be. Humphry's with his physical play against Lee was a big difference frustrating him into being benched towards the end of the game. T-Will is our glue guy he finally is starting to get minutes.

I can't be the only one who noticed that we completely turned around our game when Yi was injured. Start Humphries, start TWill. Cmon Kiki gather your balls and do it

TWill is BEASTLY in a fast paced games. His handle and vision is out of this world.

Only 57 minutes total from our 4s and 5s. Smallball is back.

TWILL - +30!!!
This kids got talent

Twill saved the game, clee and devin closed it out. Get well soon Yi. And for the last time START twill. Nice win.

Nuff said.
