KNICKS-NETS OPENER THURSDAY POSTPONED

NEW YORK — The Knicks-Nets game that was scheduled for Thursday night at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn has been postponed at Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s request after damage from Hurricane Sandy. Though the NBA had said Tuesday night the game would go on as planned, Bloomberg asked the league that it be called off. The centre sits above a subway station and commuter rail terminal and with most of mass transit still out in New York, transportation to the game would have been difficult.
