The Nets really shouldn’t have been that close in this game last night.  They only shot 34.5% from the floor and they were outrebounded 54-37 but they were still tied going into the 4th quarter.  They were outscored 31-23 in the 4th quarter and that is what did them in.  Vince Carter led the way for the Nets with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.  Richard Jefferson also had a decent game with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Nets fell to 31-38 on the season with this loss.  http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2007032319
