Joe Harris went 1 for 7 from 3-point territory in his last game, but scored 2 quick treys in the first quarter as the Nets closed out the first quarter with a 9-point lead.

Caris LeVert, coming off of a solid opening game brought the same energy to game 2 by being aggressive on the court, but he quickly picked up a technical foul in the second quarter while the Knicks battled back into the game; the Nets take a 7 point lead to close the first half.
