With the NBA on hiatus and New York continuing its battle against the novel coronavirus outbreak, Brooklyn Nets games will not be played for the foreseeable future.
For the Nets, as much as any team, this comes at an odd time — Brooklyn was battling the Orlando Magic for the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings. At the stoppage of play, the Nets had a half-game advantage over the Magic.
Since there aren’t any games, each day Nets Wire will highlight impressive individual performances and major moments throughout Nets history:
The New Jersey Nets didn’t make it back to the NBA Finals in Jason Kidd’s last season with the franchise, but the Hall of Fame point guard had some strong showings throughout the run, including his performance against the Toronto Raptors in Game 3 of the first round on the 2007 NBA Playoffs on April 27.
Kidd set a playoffs career-high in assists (19), to go along with his 16 points and 16 rebounds in the Nets’ 102-89 win (full box score). He also had three steals in New Jersey’s second win of the series.
Vince Carter led the Nets in scoring (37 points) against his old team, and Richard Jefferson finished with 18 points.
