LATEST REPORT

KNICKS 59, RIOTS 57 • NEW YORK LEADS 2-0

Two games. Four points. The same Newark problems.

The Riots had another game sitting on the table and watched it disappear. New York owned the glass 10-4 on offensive rebounds, won the paint 44-26, and produced every second-chance point. Newark tied it late, then chose Buzi Vert over Josh Hart for the decisive defensive possession. Larry Johnson saw the mismatch and ended it at the rim.
