Kenny Atkinson wanted his Nets to give a bounce-back effort after Tuesday’s stinker against the Knicks. Jahlil Okafor and Nik Stauskas wanted to get a win in their first meeting with the 76ers team that traded them to Brooklyn. For a change, everybody on the Nets got what they wanted as Spencer Dinwiddie and D’Angelo...

None of the Nets should lack for motivation after the 111-95 beating they took from the Knicks on Tuesday night at the Garden. But Nik Stauskas and Jahlil Okafor have a little extra added incentive for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers, their first meeting with the Philadelphia team that traded them away last month. “I...

OKLAHOMA CITY — Carmelo Anthony’s lengthy string of All-Star games will end this year after eight straight, having not been picked for next month’s game. It’s hardly a shock, with an aging Anthony having his worst statistical season. But he knew the minute he came to Oklahoma City in a trade from the Knicks, that...

Spencer Dinwiddie had his third straight dodgy game. He had a career-high 13 assists, but shot 3-of-13 and missed two huge late free throws as the Nets lost, 100-95 to the Spurs at Barclays Center on Thursday night. “For the past three games, I’ve been broke,” Dinwiddie said. “Washington and obviously the Knicks game got...

On the court, it was a light day for the Nets. Off of it, something else entirely. “Today was very tough,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. He spent a good portion of Tuesday’s practice illustrating what went wrong in the fourth quarter of Monday’s ugly, 15-point home loss to the Knicks, in which Atkinson believed “we...

For the first time in more than two months, D’Angelo Russell had an impact on a game — albeit it wasn’t how the Nets had hoped — picking up a technical foul from the bench in a 119-104 loss to the Knicks. Russell didn’t play Monday at Barclays Center, despite a report claiming he would....

Hey, how about that 19-year-old NBA rookie playing in New York? No, not the Knicks’ Frank Ntilikina. The other one, the Nets’ Jarrett Allen. The 22nd pick in June’s draft, Allen is providing the Nets with the most important element in a rookie season — progress. He’s just getting better with experience. The 6-foot-10 ½,...

First the Nets saw the Knicks fans take over Barclays Center. Then the Nets let their rivals take over the game. Brooklyn got beaten up and battered around in a 111-104 loss to the Knicks on Thursday night. “Similar to the first game, they turned up their pressure, their physicality, really. They were the much...

The Nets caught a break Thursday night when Kristaps Porzingis, the Knicks’ shot-blocking star, left early in the second half. But they couldn’t buy a shot, and couldn’t cash in. The Nets kept settling for long jumpers, and kept missing them, falling 111-104 before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center. “I think a...

Within the Nets-Knicks rivalry, a mini-rivalry is brewing. Forwards Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Kristaps Porzingis, members of the same draft class, will meet for the eighth time Thursday night when the Nets host the Knicks at Barclays Center. “I know [Porzingis] is my matchup,” Hollis-Jefferson said after Nets practice Wednesday. “Every time we play against each...

CLEVELAND — LeBron James had already crowned himself the so-called King of New York after beating the Knicks. And on Wednesday night, King James ruled over the Nets — and the fourth quarter. The Nets already had beaten the Cavaliers earlier this season at Barclays Center. James made damn sure it didn’t happen again at...

The Nets’ rebounding — or lack thereof — remains a “big concern,” coach Kenny Atkinson said Saturday, especially considering what’s coming next. After being outrebounded, 55-34, in Friday’s loss to the Knicks and allowing 19 offensive boards, the Nets will be in for another test Sunday when the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic come to town....

The boxscore said Allen Crabbe played 20 minutes and 22 seconds Friday night, but the Nets’ shooting guard did his best disappearing act.

D’Angelo Russell’s knee is making improvement, with the Nets’ leading scorer expected to be upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Friday night against the Knicks at the Garden. The 21-year-old Russell sprained his right knee during their loss in Orlando, and sat out an upset victory Wednesday over LeBron James and the Cavaliers. The young...
