Last Night's Action: Wright Stuff

2006_11_snetslogo.jpg

  • Nets 112, Bulls 103 (OT): Despite blowing a 15-point, lead the Nets managed to win their 2007-08 opener against the Bulls at home. Antoine Wright had 14 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. His supporting cast included Richard Jefferson (29 points and 10 rebounds) and Vince Carter (24 points). The Nets and the Bulls both hope to move to the top tier of Eastern Conference playoff teams, and Day 1 was encouraging for New Jersey. The Nets hit 37 of 41 free throws.

  • Devils 6, Lightning 1: When did the Devils and the Nets last play a home game in the same day? With the Devils moving out of Continental Airlines Arena Izod Arena, that's now a possibility. Jay Pandolfo had his first career hat trick -- and 75 percent of his team's total from the previous four games -- as the Devils rolled. Those four games in which the team totaled four goals? All losses Now's a fair time to judge how they look. That season-opening nine-game road trip didn't do anyone any good.
