The New York Knicks debuted their City Edition jerseys against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Jan. 30. Who stepped up to get the win in the new uniform?

The New York Knicks entered Tuesday, Jan. 30 with an opportunity to rewrite the narrative of the 2017-18 NBA regular season. There’s still more work to be done, but the Knicks were coming off of a seven-game road trip that went better than expected.

In the first home game since Jan. 14, the Knicks completed the regular season series sweep of the Brooklyn Nets with a dominant 111-95 showing.

111. 27. 95. 147. Final

The Knicks entered this encounter with a reasonable amount of momentum after defeating the Phoenix Suns 107-85 on Friday, Jan. 26. After a long layoff that followed the seven-game road trip, New York played with energy on both ends of the floor.

Five players scored in double-figures and four converted at least two three-point field goals as the Knicks put forth one of their best efforts to date.

Holding back-to-back opponents below 100 points is something that Knicks fans can be proud of. The team emphasized defense over all else, and in the process, created a formula that would ultimately lead to efficient offensive execution.

The question is: Who stepped up to lead the New York Knicks to a lopsided 111-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in the regular season series finale?
