Nets Can't Stop Knicks
The Nets either need to play more games in Europe, or more games against the Heat. A day earlier, the issue was offense. This time, it was defense. With the Knicks shooting 9-of-17 from downtown, the Nets gave up 67 points in the first half Monday night at the...
Without Carter, Nets Lose Ugly to Celtics

The Indiana Pacers finished the preseason with a strong effort in Dallas, running past the Mavericks for a 114-91 win. Jim O'Brien played the game at full throttle with his starters playing big minutes, especially in the second half. Oh, and they played well. The team was without Mike Dunleavy and...
Bulls/Mavs preseason reaction: Derrick Rose is awesome
