NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 21 of his 32 points in the final 9 1/2 minutes, carrying the Brooklyn Nets to their ninth straight victory over the New York Knicks, 122-115. Irving’s sixth straight game of 30 or more points gave him a new career high and the Nets a new NBA franchise record. He didn’t seem headed that way when he was only 4 for 14 with 11 points early in the fourth quarter. But he took over from there to make sure the Nets turned away every Knicks rally, including a deep 3-pointer with 50 seconds to play after New York was within five. The All-Star guard also had nine assists and six rebounds.
