The Nets had a very impressive inactive list Tuesday night, but the guys in uniform did not put up much of a fight, falling to the Spurs by 25 at the Meadowlands. The Nets shot just 39% from the field, getting very little production from anyone but Vince Carter and Eddie House. After a tight first quarter, the Spurs pulled away by opening the second on a 20-0 run and led by as many as 28. With Jason Kidd out, Marcus Williams got his first career start. He dished out a career-high 10 assists, but shot just 4-of-14 from the field. Tim Duncan led all scorers with 21 points and Tony Parker added 19 for San Antonio.
