Two days. Two bad opponents. Two overtime losses. The Nets continue to underachieve, losing for the seventh time in nine games, this time to the 15-33 Philadelphia 76ers at the Wachovia Center Monday night. The Nets led by 11 points midway through the third quarter, but a 15-2 Sixers run gave Philly the lead early in the fourth. They led by three late, but Eddie House tied the game with a jumper from the corner with eight seconds to go in regulation, forcing OT. Unable to get stops early in the extra period, the Nets trailed by five, but they had a chance to tie or win it (needing to go the full length of the floor) down two after a Kyle Korver free throw. Jason Kidd then got the ball to Vince Carter, who once again went for the win, but his 28-footer hit the back of the rim. Free throws were a problem once again, as the Nets made just 17-of-29 from the line. Carter led the Nets with 23 points and 10 boards, but he shot just 8-of-23 from the floor.
