NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks will be at Madison Square Garden to begin the first round of the playoffs. They could even be on their home court again to start the second round. Jalen Brunson had 30 points and 11 assists after a slow start, OG Anunoby scored all of his 15 points in the third quarter and the Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets 111-107 on Friday night, clinching home-court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. “I heard the lights are really bright in MSG during that time, so that’s really big for us,” forward Josh Hart said. Hart added 16 points and Mitchell Robinson also had 15 for the Knicks, who guaranteed themselves a top-four finish in the East. Shortly after beating Brooklyn, New York moved into a tie for second in the conference with Milwaukee at 49-32 when the Bucks lost at Oklahoma City. |
