NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets looked as if they were thinking ahead to their first matchup against the crosstown New York Knicks for the first three quarters Sunday.

 

Deron Williams had 15 points, 12 assists, four blocked shots and three steals, and the Nets used a run early in the fourth to break open a tie game and beat the Portland Trail Blazers 98-85 on Sunday.

 

Reserve forward Reggie Evans said "we didn't have no energy, no life" until he and his teammates turned up their offensive and defensive effort in the fourth quarter just like they did on Friday night in a victory against the Los Angeles Clippers.

 

"It goes to show when it comes time to buckle down and get stops, we can make something happen. We just have to try to that in the first three quarters and not just in the fourth," said Joe Johnson, who scored 21 points.

 

The Nets' much talked about first game in their new home against the Knicks was postponed on opening day because of Superstorm Sandy and was rescheduled for Monday night.

 

Kris Humphries had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Brooklyn, which was looking forward to the Knicks and a crowd that they hope will be on their side as opposed to past few years when the teams met in New Jersey.

 

"There's going to be more energy. Each play is going to be bigger. So I think it's tough because of the atmosphere but we have to come out and execute, not get caught up in the Nets-Knicks thing," Humphries said.
