Both teams are coming in off multiple losses. The Nets (2-4) have lost two games in a row for the first time this season, while New York (1-5) is winless since beating the Atlanta Hawks in their opener on Oct. 17.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 24 points and had four assists to pace New York. while Enes Kanter had 13 rebounds off the bench. Noah Vonleh also dished out four assists.

The Nets, when they were still the New Jersey Nets, hold the longest winning streak overall in the series, beating New York 11 straight times from Feb. 25, 1984, through March 1, 1986.

The Knicks, however, put up the most points in a single game in the series and also won by the largest margin. New York hung 135 points on the Nets in a Feb. 5, 1987, win at Madison Square Garden and posted a 32-point victory there on Dec. 19, 1987.

Bernard King, a former Net, holds the scoring mark in the series, firing in 60 points for the Knicks in a 120-114 loss to the Nets on Dec. 25, 1984. John Williamson scored 43 for the New Jersey Nets in a win over New York at Rutgers Athletic Center on Feb. 12, 1978.
