In discussion of the New York Knicks’ convincing 100-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, much attention will be paid to Carmelo Anthony, and that makes sense. The NBA’s second-leading scorer came back after missing two games with a sprained left ankle to feast on the Brooklyn defense, scoring 31 points on 12-for-22 shooting, including a 4-for-8 mark from long distance, in 35 1/2 minutes, running his season averages against Brooklyn (37 points and seven rebounds per game on 53.5 percent shooting from the floor, 60 percent from 3 and 76.7 percent from the line in three meetings) to a level that has inspired both MVP talk and a classic @net3wrk goof alike.

(Tyson) Chandler had 16 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in New York’s Wednesday win, which ran the team’s mark at Madison Square Garden to 11-1 on the season and represented a bounce-back after the embarrassing Monday concession to Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets
