Nets end 16-game home losing skid with 3-point barrage vs. Knicks

The Brooklyn Nets finally won their first home game of 2017.

It took them many tries - 16, to be precise - over multiple months, but they finally pulled it off Sunday against the New York Knicks, prevailing 120-112 at Barclays Center.

Brook Lopez led the charge on "Biggie Night" with 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting. He started the game a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, where he finished 6-of-9.

The Nets hit a franchise-record 14 treys in the first half, and wound up with 19 on a glistening 50 percent clip. The victory over the Knicks marked their first versus an Atlantic Division rival this season.

With the win, Brooklyn improved to 12-53, which unfortunately means little in the standings as the team's already been eliminated from the playoff hunt.
