The Nets' long road trip got a lot longer on Wednesday when the team lost to Memphis. Now it faces a back to back against two teams with strong New Jersey connections: the Hornets, coached by Byron Scott and the Mavs, led by Jason Kidd. Friday's game will match Devin Harris with Chris Paul, who is having an MVP-level season and who ran by Kidd three weeks ago. The Hornets have dropped to third in the West after going 6-4 in the last 10 games.
