Knicks Recap: Nets draw first blood against the Knicks.

No Amar'e. No Shumpert. No Kidd. Missed free throws by Melo. 3-19 shooting performance from Raymond Felton, and the Knicks still had a three point lead over the Nets with a 1:40 left in the 4th quarter. Tyson Chandler was a beast against the Nets, and after his put back dunk to give the Knicks a three point lead it looked like it was going to be a Knicks win. Instead Williams, and Lopez pulled through late forcing the game into OT. In overtime the Nets were too much for the Knicks as they got the win 96-89.

(Best team in New York?)

The Good: Tyson Chandler 28 points, 10 rebounds. Tyson was great, and he was by far the Knicks best player in the game outside of Carmelo Anthony.

Melo was good for 46 minutes, we will talk about the bad coming up.

Defense for Mike Woodson's team returned tonight as they limit the Nets to only 84 points in regulation.

The Bad: Raymond Felton, 3-19 shooting, was off tonight and it hurt the Knicks big time. Luckily for him he will have a chance to redeem quickly as the Knicks play the Bucks on Wednesday.

3 point shooting, the Knicks have been great behind the arc but against the Nets they couldn't find their touch.

Carmelo Anthony missed key free throws through out the game, and was unable to finish it.

Up Next: The Knicks play the Bucks on Wednesday and then they play the 0-12 Wizards on Friday. As far as the next time the Knicks and Nets play it will be on Tuesday December 11th at the Barclays once again.

Leave some comments on your thoughts on the game, and does this game prove that the Nets are the team to be in NYC.
