Who says derby says smell of merguez but above all, humiliation in sight. It is never easy to admit defeat to the neighbor, but the quest for total pleasure – in the event of victory – more than compensates for the risk of disillusionment. Unlike Kyrie Irving, this game was an opportunity for the Knicks to know the evils that derby inflicts. Debrief.
The pretty house boxscore, it’s here
“You better redo the facade of your wife rather than that of your house”, Kevin Knox barks at the Brooklyn staff. Yes, the Knicks are on edge and while it is always fun to have a cordial relationship with others, curtsies are not in the game. The arrival of LaMarcus Aldridge now makes the Nets the squad to go down, especially when control of the Big Apple is at stake. Due to lack of physical glitches, Steve Nash’s velleda cannot put the names of Blake Griffin, Landry Shamet, Tyler Johnson and Kevin Durant on the tablet. Opposite, only the absence of Mitchell Robinson is to be deplored, making the Knicks the itching of the evening. The handshakes are manly, and the in-between is given. Four minutes is enough to James Harden to hurt himself to the right hamstring and off the floor, leaving Kyrie Irving to carry the Nets at arm’s length. Far from being a problem for Uncle Drew, the exit of the bearded man allows the leader to announce the taste of the evening: award-winning shots, forceps penetrations, and rhythm of great sickness. Author of 19 points at the break, Kyrie even hovering the shadow of Kobe Bryant above the Barclays Center, with a fadeaway taken to the extreme. Side Knicks, the collective makes the difference and the Derrick Rose, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and other Reggie Bullock almost place hands in the pockets (Nets 57 – 67 Knicks).

If the last twelve minutes give way to a trench warfare, the second period is generally dominated by the Nets. We feel a false rhythm set in with Spike Lee’s pals, and the Kyrie Irving machine continues to thread the pearls as the baker puts on his gloves before taking the croissants out of the oven. At the very end of the game, LaMarcus Aldridge participated in widening a three-unit gap in favor of Brooklyn, just before Alec Burks equalized from seven meters. However, mass is said when Jeff Green causes a foul three seconds from time, and scores his two free throws. Yes, the end of the game is a bit bad and it would have been better to attend a Kyrie Irving Colissimo from the logo, even if the leader already leaves behind him 40 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 lost balls and 1 interception at 54% shooting including 42% from the parking lot. Honorable mention for Frank Ntilikina who leaves the Barclays Center with two stray balls less than Uncle Drew. We will remember the precious 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, as well as the 8 pawns, 6 bins, 2 blocks and 2 friendships of LaMarcus Aldridge. Thus, the Nets recover first place in the Eastern Conference and react after a previous disappointment in Illinois. As for the Knicks, they retain their eighth place and will have to sweat to avoid the unpleasant impression of Bulls and Pacers in the retro.
Kyrie Irving.

All Kyrie Irving wanted was to be home. No joke on Orelsan, nor on the shape of our planet according to Drew, and even less on the amount of gray matter of the leader. Tonight, everyone owes respect to the one who illegally seized the keys to New York City Hall. Boss.
