The Nets showed a lot of energy Tuesday night in San Antonio, and they slowed down Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. They shot just 32% from the field however, and didn't have an answer for Devin Brown, who led all scorers with 22 points on 9 of 12 shooting. Nenad Krstic was the lone standout for the Nets, finishing with 19 points and 9 rebounds in just 22 minutes before fouling out. Vince Carter struggled all night, shooting just 4 of 18 from the field and turning the ball over 6 times.
