The Nets hung in, but never cut the lead to less than eight after that. Brook Lopez recovered from his rough night in Denver with a career-high 32 points and 14 rebounds, and Chris Douglas-Roberts and Trenton Hassell added 18 and 10 points respectively.

Shawn Bradley also scored 32 in a March 1996 game.
