The Brooklyn Nets, after a disappointing 1-4 West Coast trip, stand at an overall 13-13 record. Facing the New York Knicks, the Nets continued to struggle, trailing 10-3 early in the first quarter and shooting just 2 for 9. The Knicks, led by Julius Randle's 19 first-half points, capitalized on the Nets' poor shooting, extending to a 14-5 lead. The Nets' Mikal Bridges had a particularly tough start, going 0 for 6 initially and finishing the half 1 for 10. Despite Bridges finally scoring after an 0-for-8 start, the Knicks maintained dominance with a 60-51 halftime lead, buoyed by Randle's scoring, which included 12 points from DiVincenzo and 7 from Dinwiddie. The Nets' shooting woes persisted, with a 36% field goal percentage (18-of-50) and conceding 26 points in the paint and 14 in transition. The Knicks extended their lead to 20 points in the third quarter, the largest of the night, as the Nets missed their first eight shots of the quarter. Randle's performance, with 19 points either scored in the paint or at the line, was a highlight, while the Knicks led by 9 at halftime.
Nets missed their first eight shots of the third quarter and the Knicks opened a 20-point lead. Bridges now 1 for 14.
Knicks lead by 20 points with 9:16 left in the third quarter, their largest advantage of the night. Brooklyn just can't seem to get right at either end of the court.
15 of his 19 points either scored in the paint or at the line in that first half. Virtually unguardable one on one. #Knicks https://t.co/BeKrdrE7Iz

Knicks lead the Nets 60-51 at halftime. Three things: - Brooklyn is 18-of-50 from the field as a team (36%) - Knicks have 26 points in the paint and 14 more in transition, led by 14 early - Mikal Brides is 1/10 from the field in 16 min. He shot 35.6% on the West Coast trip

Julius Randle took 18 shots in the paint Monday against the Lakers. He's taken nine so far tonight and it's still the second quarter. Dude is a wrecking ball right now.

Mikal Bridges finally gets one to go down after an 0-for-8 start. Nets have trimmed Knicks' 14-point lead down to four.
Knicks lead the Nets 32-20 after one quarter here at Barclays Center. Brooklyn came out flat and it's costing them. 6/24 from the field and they've already surrendered 14 points in the paint and 10 points in transition.
Knicks 32, Nets 20. Another slow start for the Nets (6-24 from the field) Julius Randle? Not a bad start. 12 points for the Knicks. DiVincenzo: 8 pts Dinwiddie: 7 pts Bridges: 0-7 FGs
Knicks already have 8 fastbreak points - an area the Nets have struggled in since the trip. Mikal Bridges is still struggling with his shot. 0-6 to start this. Knicks 25-14
Nets look like a team that just came back from a trip out West. The Knicks don't. So it's 14-5 Knicks, with Brooklyn shooting 2 for 13.
Make that 2-13 from the field for the Nets. It's like they're still in Utah or Denver with tired legs Knicks up 14-5
As expected, the Knicks are going right to the paint and crashing the glass. And the Nets' poor shooting has continued from the road trip. 2-9 start
~Another ~ slow start for the Nets. 1/7 from the field. Down 10-3 with 8:30 left in the first quarter.
The undermanned Nets run out of gas in Utah and end their West Coast swing at 1-4. The overall record is 13-13. Next five games: vs. New York vs. Denver vs. Detroit @ Detroit vs. Milwaukee
