    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the Nets' 15-point lead down to one Saturday in Game 1 vs. the Raptors, the clock bled below three minutes and the ball in Vince Carter's hands, all those red-clad fans in Air Canada Centre probably figured their hero-turned-villain would do one of two things:

    1. Keep it and try to score himself.

    2. Give it up, but only to one of his fellow "Big Three" teammates, Richard Jefferson or Jason Kidd.

    Instead, Carter fed it to Bostjan Nachbar, who stood all alone behind the three-point line in the left corner, playing the seventh playoff game of his NBA career, but the first in which he truly mattered.

    Carter didn't hesitate and, once Nachbar got the ball, neither did he with what turned out to be the biggest shot of the game.

    Catch, shoot, swish. Four-point lead. Crisis averted.</div>
