    This certainly wasn't the same old New Jersey Nets.

    New owner, new coach, new building, new roster and something totally different, a win to kick off the season.

    Anthony Morrow hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 26 seconds to play and the Nets gave Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov a win in his first game as their owner, 101-98 over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

    "Nothing is really perfect but this was a beautiful ending," new coach Avery Johnson said. "If this was a movie, for a team coming out of a situation we were coming out of, for a new team coming together, it's a beautiful ending."

    It certainly was a far cry from last season, when the Nets won a franchise-worst 12 games and started the season with an NBA-record 18 consecutive losses.
