The New York Knicks begin their pursuit of the Brooklyn Nets Friday night in Washington. We say “begin” rather than “resume” because catching Brooklyn wasn’t even in the discussion a couple of weeks ago. The trade deadline changed all that, and this now appears to be an inevitability rather than a possibility.<\/p>\n

Knicks Goals Between Now and Playoffs<\/h2>\n

Three games down to the Nets in the loss column, the Knicks play the Washington Wizards tonight as one-point underdogs, while the Nets are in Chicago getting two points from the Bulls. But while the Nets are undergoing a rebuild following the trades of forward Kevin Durant and guard Kyrie Irving, the Knicks are making a push behind all-star forward Julius Randle, snubbed non-All-Star guard Jalen Brunson, and trade deadline acquisition and forward\/guard Josh Hart.<\/p>\n
