Nets 124, Pacers 117: Don't laugh, but the Nets could end up in the playoffs while the Mavericks miss them. Even with Jason Kidd now in Texas, the Nets and Hawks appear ready to do battle right down to the wire for the eighth and final playoff spot. The Pacers are in that race too, so Wednesday's home win proved extra important. Devin Harris had 22 points and 15 assists in the high-scoring affair. Vince Carter had 22, Richard Jefferson had 20 and Josh Boone had 26. Harris really made the offense click. Meanwhile, Dallas is 1 1/2 games away from the lottery.

Nets 102, Pacers 91: Richard Jefferson doesn't appear to miss Jason Kidd. He dropped 36 points, made 12 of his 21 field goals -- and eight of his 10 free throws -- as the Nets avenged Friday's loss at Indiana. Don't look past Josh Boone, either. He had 19 points, 13 rebounds and made all five of his free throw attempts.

Clippers 120, Nets 107 (OT): That five-game winning streak seems like ages ago. Too bad the NBA doesn't give out half a win for reaching overtime. Offense wasn't the problem for the Nets. As Josh Boone -- he of 17 points, 16 rebounds and 3-of-4 free throw shooting -- said, the Clippers just played better defense in the bonus session.

Islanders 5, Flames 4 (SO): Mike Sillinger scored two goals in regulation and then added the winner in the shootout. That's after he failed in the Pacific Northwest against the Canucks on Wednesday.

Nets 97, Bucks 95: Do the Nets even know how they won this game? They didn't get a typical night from Richard Jefferson or an outstanding effort from Vince Carter. What they did have was great shot selection (50 percent from the floor) and great defense by Josh Boone on Milwaukee's big men. Jason Kidd's 15 assists didn't hurt either.

Bulls 101, Knicks 96: All those in attendance at Chicago's United Center got Big Macs, so at least the Knicks are making some fans happy. Just not their own. Zach Randolph -- acquired by Isiah Thomas, give the guy credit -- had 27 points and 15 rebounds. Unfortunately for the Knicks, Fred Jones put up the second-best line with 22. The rest of the team went 21-for-53 from the floor. They'll take on the Nets at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

Sabres 4, Devils 3: Could this be a preview of the Eastern Conference finals? Rarely do seeds hold up in the NHL playoffs, but if they do, the Sabres will have given their confidence a boost after struggling against the Devils in the past. Martin Brodeur is still three wins shy of the single-season record for victories. Brodeur's ability to play more games than most regular goalies have helped him remain in contention for that mark, but have his skills, which haven't eroded in a man who will turn 35 in May.

Can a Deeper Bench Give the Nets a Deeper Playoff Run?
After bowing out in five games to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals iast season, the Nets didn't feel the need to retool their starting lineup. Who wouldn't be happy with Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Nenad Krstic on the floor for the tipoff? Instead, they knew their reserves could be better, and that's the weakness they concentrated on in the offseason. Head coach Lawrence Frank should have a better team sitting next to him this season.
Maybe They Meant To Pick Rolando Blackman?
The one positive you could say about Isiah was that he was always pretty good in the draft. Whether it was Channing Frye, Marcus Camby or Tracy McGrady, Isiah seemed to do pretty well in the draft. Apparently he now wants to ruin the last positive part of his reputation because how else can you explain drafting Renaldo Balkman with the 20th pick?
Road Blues
As impressive a week as St. John's had last week, defeating Louisville and Pittsburgh at home, the Red Storm could hardly have hoped to beat Connecticut on the road Wednesday. They didn't. After hanging with the nation's top-ranked team for a half, St. John's lost in Storrs 66-50. The Huskies outscored the visitors by 15 points in the second half and took control after two ejections with a 15-4 run.
