EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Al Harrington and Danilo Gallinari each scored 17 points, and the New York Knicks beat the winless New Jersey Nets 98-91 on Saturday.
David Lee added 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Wilson Chandler and Larry Hughes each finished with 13 points. The Knicks (3-9) won their second straight and proved that worse basketball is played a mere 10 miles away.
The Nets fell to 0-13, inching closer to the NBA record of 17 straight losses to start a season, held by Miami and matched by the Los Angeles Clippers. They'll try to avoid it during a difficult four-game trip out West that starts with back-to-back games at Denver and Portland, capped by a visit to the Lakers.
Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 24 points, and Brook Lopez had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Nets, who shot only 4 of 18 from 3-point range and barely broke 90 points against one of the NBA's worst defensive teams.
Cavaliers 97, 76ers 91
