EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) - The New Jersey Nets have
been one of the NBA's most successful home teams of late. They
hope to continue that trend Monday when they host the surging
Sacramento Kings.
Since an embarrassing 91-83 loss here to the Charlotte Bobcats
on December 14, the Nets have won 15 of their last 17 home
decisions.
New Jersey rallied in the fourth quarter Saturday before
ultimately winning a 105-100 overtime decision against the
Toronto Raptors.
Vince Carter scored 31 points while Jason Kidd added 14, 13
rebounds and 15 assists to record his fifth triple-double of the
season and 72nd career.
Richard Jefferson chipped in 30 points for the Nets, who lead
the second-place Philadelphia 76ers (30-29) by 2 1/2 games in
the Atlantic Division.
New Jersey hopes to continue rolling Monday against a Sacramento
squad that has won six of its last nine.
The Kings hope to bounce back from a 117-107 loss to the
Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Ron Artest scored 30 points and Kevin Martin had 20 for
Sacramento, which fell to 2-1 on its five-game road trip.
