The Knicks took the season series 3-1 over their crosstown rivals the Nets.
The New York Knicks may be going home for the summer, but they're still relatively popular in Brooklyn.
Per usual, Knicks and Nets fans shared the friendly confines of Barclays Center and a "Let's Go Knicks!" chant broke out late, as New York's two teams played a fourth straight blowout with the Knicks taking this one 109-98 Tuesday.
The Knicks adapted well without Carmelo Anthony (torn right labrum), beating the Nets at their own game by finishing 11-for-21 from behind the 3-point line and making a living at the foul line (34-for-40).
Six Knicks finished in double figures.
Amar'e Stoudemire and J.R. Smith (14 points apiece) did damage early, while Tim Hardaway Jr. (16) and Cole Aldrich (13) played well off the bench deep into garbage time.
Marcus Thornton popped in a game-high 24 points for the Nets.
Net's Paul Pierce became the only active NBA player to record 1,000 points in 15 consecutive seasons.
