<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Nen-sanity ruled in the Swamp for the Nets. Again, there was a Nets third quarter that was the stuff of nightmares. Again, command had vanished. Again, a sub-.500 team, this time expansionist Charlotte, threatened. And the Nets, despite all the pleas and caution for urgency, were in danger of losing a third straight game after the All-Star break. But there was a major difference this time. The Nets, in their debacle defeats to Toronto and Milwaukee, were without rookie center Nenad Krstic, who was sidelined with a viral infection. This time, Krstic played. Did he ever. Krstic, playing limited minutes in the wake of his illness, scored a personal best 25 points before fouling out with 1:16 remaining. The Nets ruled inside, with Krstic, plus 12-rebound performer and defensive stud Jason Collins, on the way to a critical 93-86 victory over the Bobcats. </div> Source
