"Bridges, who the Nets traded across the East River for a record five first-round picks and a swap, started and got ambivalent boos from the home crowd."
"I [told them] I was proud of them for the season, the work they put in, the good intentions they've had, and we have to keep moving on."
"Landry Shamet carried the backup-heavy Knicks with a game-high 29 points on 7-of-13 from deep against his old club."
"Instead they suffered a costly defeat and did so relying mostly on players who may be in different uniforms next season."
The Nets concluded their season with a significant loss, falling 113-105 to the Knicks, despite being in a position to improve their draft stock. The defeat sealed the Nets' sixth-worst league record at 26-56, giving them the sixth-best odds in the lottery. Coach Jordi Fernández praised his players for their effort during a difficult season and acknowledged the challenges ahead. Instead of securing a better draft pick, the game highlighted the reliance on players who may not return next season, underscoring the team's impending rebuild with four first-round picks on the horizon.
