<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Vince Carter had an idea it would be a special night when his shots were zeroed in from halfcourt before the game. He was fairly certain when he also hit from the floor ? while stretched out on his back ? during pre-game. Not that he expected to be taking any of those shots during the game. But then those were about the only types of shots he didn't take and make. "He was amazing. He was great," praised Jason Kidd. "He made shots early. He made shots in between. He made a big shot to tie the game." The Nets needed all of it from Carter, who recorded a season-high 43 points and surpassed 10,000 for his career. And they needed a lot more: like the third triple-double of the season from Kidd; like 14 bench points from Ron Mercer; like a superb defensive effort in the final 10 minutes. Yes, the Nets needed all those things because they gave away control and the lead. </div> Source
