The Nets led the Jazz by just 3 points at halftime Friday night, but 12 fast break points in the 3rd quarter led to a 27-12 period, and New Jersey cruised to a 14 point victory. Vince Carter led all scorers with 23 points, and Jason Kidd was just 2 rebounds and an assist away from another triple-double, and neither star played in the 4th quarter. Travis Best and Brian Scalabrine each provided a lift off the bench as the Nets succeeded with team basketball, assisting on 26 of their 34 field goals.
