Bobcats-Nets Preview

Despite a successful start, the New Jersey Nets know there is plenty of room for improvement - maybe not as much improvement as the Charlotte Bobcats need.

The Nets look to move on from their first loss when they host the winless Bobcats on Wednesday night.

After losing 18 straight games to open a dismal 12-win season in 2009-10, New Jersey won its first two contests this autumn before falling 101-78 at home to Miami on Sunday.

Though only one defeat, Sunday's effort proved how far the Nets still need to go to seriously compete with an elite team like the Heat and their superstar trio of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. New Jersey shot 35.3 percent and struggled to score after averaging 103.5 points and shooting 50.4 percent in home victories over Detroit and Sacramento.

"We still have some work to be done," said Nets point guard Devin Harris, who had 13 points and six assists.

New owner Mikhail Prokhorov, however, liked what he saw from the Nets during the first week of the season.

"I am very pleased with the team's progress and look forward to watching the Nets reach their full potential as the season continues," he said in a statement released by the team.

Brook Lopez had 20 points while No. 3 overall pick Derrick Favors added 13 and 13 rebounds Sunday for the Nets, who remain confident despite their disappointing effort.

"We're still on the ground floor," coach Avery Johnson said. "We're three games into this, and the world is not over."

The Bobcats (0-3) are taking the same approach despite being mired in the worst start of the franchise's seven seasons. Coming off its first-ever playoff appearance, Charlotte has averaged 91.7 points through three games.

"It's not panic time," swingman Stephen Jackson said. "I've been playing 11 years and three games is nothing to panic about. We don't want to get 0-10."

D.J. Augustin had 26 points and Jackson added 23 in Charlotte's 98-88 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday. The Bobcats committed 18 turnovers, giving them 56 in three games - an average of nearly 19.

"We just got to stay positive. It's a long season," said Augustin, averaging 17.0 points and 5.3 assists thus far.

The season might seem even longer if the Bobcats don't improve their play on the road.

Charlotte went 13-28 away from home in 2009-10. That included a 97-91 loss at New Jersey for the Nets' first win of the season Dec. 4. The Bobcats have failed to score more than 88 points in two road contests this season.

Charlotte did win its last trip to New Jersey, 105-95 on April 12. Jackson had 17 points and nine rebounds, and has averaged 22.3 points in his last four games at New Jersey. Harris had 22 points for the Nets in that matchup.

Augustin's free throws give Bobcats first win

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Down by 10 points and facing the prospect of opening the season with four straight losses, the Charlotte Bobcats picked up their defense, got a few friendly bounces off the rim late and came up with a way to win.

D.J. Augustin hit two go-ahead free throws with 30.9 seconds to play and the Bobcats closed the game with a 16-4 run to post an 85-83 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.

"It would have been very tough for us to be 0-4," Augustin said. "We needed this win badly. It's going to give us a boost of confidence going into Detroit."

Going 0-4 would have been a lot scarier since the Bobcats have home games against Orlando and San Antonio after the Detroit game, so the players could easily have been looking at a possible 0-7 start.

"We were struggling and we needed something good," Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. "To get a win on the road is important. I saw some ugly things that happen when you don't execute. But down the stretch, we made good passes and decisions on offense."

The Bobcats also got a little lucky at the end.

Travis Outlaw of the Nets missed a 10-foot baseline jumper with 9.9 seconds to go. Brook Lopez missed on a tip off that shot and Outlaw then missed an 18-foot fallaway with less than 5 seconds to play.

"Both of them felt good," Outlaw said. "On the second one I faded a little too much. I should have gone straight up and followed through."

There was a loose ball on the floor for about the final 3 seconds and neither team was able to control it before the final horn went off. Lopez left the court holding a shoulder, saying he bumped with Augustin. He did not think the injury was serious.

"They kept getting shots and they fell off the rim," said Stephen Jackson, who scored eight of his 12 points in the final 5:12 for Charlotte after starting 0 for 8 from the field. "We had the luck of the basketball gods there. We stayed with our defense and got after it at the end of the game."

Boris Diaw scored 24 points and Gerald Wallace added 20 for Charlotte, which ironically was the team that the Nets beat last season to end an NBA-record 18-game losing streak to start the season.

Devin Harris shook off a sprained left shoulder to lead the Nets with 19 points and eight assists. Lopez added 17 points, and rookie Derrick Favors and Anthony Morrow had 11 points each.

"We just have to learn to put teams away," said Harris, who had 10 points and three assists in the fourth quarter.

Trailing 79-69 after a 3-pointer by Outlaw with 4:45 to play, the Bobcats went on a 14-2 spurt with Jackson and Diaw hitting 3-pointers and Wallace making four free throws. Charlotte tied it at 81 on a putback by Nazr Mohammed and took the lead on Jackson's two free throws with 1:35 to go.

Lopez tied it on a basket inside on the Nets' next possession, before Charlotte maintained control of the ball for about the next 50 seconds by missing shots and either getting rebounds or controlling the tip after a tie-up.

Augustin got his free throws when fouled by Harris on a drive on the wing.

Augustin said that Jackson told referee Haywoode Workman that Harris was using his knee to defend, and that's the call Augustin got on the game-winning free throws.

"I think it helped a lot," Augustin said. "Referees respect Jack and that helped me get the call. It was big."

The Nets opened the fourth quarter with an 18-7 spurt and Harris had a hand in the first 15 points. He scored eight points and set up the other seven with three assists.

Harris, who spent the final 7:11 of the third quarter either in the locker room or on the bench after hurting his shoulder, set up monster slam by Favors with 5:32 to go for a 76-66 lead.

After Jackson and Outlaw exchanged 3-pointers, the Bobcats rallied to win.

NOTES: The Nets held a moment of silence for former NBA star Maurice Lucas, who died this weekend. He played for six teams in 12 NBA seasons, including New Jersey, after beginning his career in the ABA. ... Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia was at the game and there were a few boos when he was introduced. ... This marked the first time the Nets have opened a season with four straight home games. ... Nets F Troy Murphy played for the first time this season after missing the first three games because of a back problem.

THE FACTS: The Charlotte Bobcats won their first game of the season in appropriate fashion: overcoming a 10-point deficit to defeat the New Jersey Nets 85-83 in a slugfest that ended with players from both teams fighting on the floor for a loose ball. Boris Diaw (24 points, three rebounds, three assists) and Gerald Wallace (20 points, 11 field-goal attempts, 11 rebounds, countless floor burns) starred for the Bobcats. Devin Harris and Brook Lopez played through pain to combine for 36 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

QUOTABLE: "You saw how ugly things can get, when you just run up and down the floor and don't execute."
-- Bobcats coach, Larry Brown

THE STAT: The Nets shot 14-for-15 from the line, but just 5-for-17 on 3-pointers.

TURNING POINT: D.J. Augustin sank two free throws with 30.9 seconds remaining to give the Bobcats the 85-83 lead that would end up as the final score.

QUOTABLE II: "Luckily it wasn't someone bigger."
-- Brook Lopez, on colliding with Augustin and hurting his shoulder. Augustin and Lopez were selected back-to-back with the ninth and 10th picks in the 2008 NBA Draft.

HOT: Wallace also played through pain to earn his numbers. He got to the basket seemingly at will, converting well around the rim and sinking all eight of his free throws.

NOT: Troy Murphy. In his Nets debut, Murphy finished with just two points on 1-for-3 shooting in 18 minutes.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Derrick Favors (11 points, 5-for-7 from the floor, eight rebounds) turned in an efficient performance.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Yankees starting pitcher, C.C. Sabathia, sat courtside. In other related baseball news, the New York Mets picked up the contract option on shortstop Jose Reyes ... Public Address announcer Gary Sussman referred to Lopez as "the Pez dispenser" after an assist late in the third quarter to Anthony Morrow ... DeSagana Diop was happy to hear that his favorite soccer team, Olympique Marseille, defeated MSK Zilina 7-0 in a Champions League fixture earlier in the day ... With 2:24 remaining and the Nets up two, the "Lock it up" scene from Wedding Crashers played on the jumbotron. Unfortunately for most in attendance, the Nets failed to do just that.

ROOKIE WATCH: Sherron Collins (zero points, two assists in four minutes) made his NBA debut.

NOTABLE: Lopez scored 10 of the Nets' 19 points in the first quarter ... Murphy made his first field goal as a Net on a 19-foot jumper with 45.2 seconds left in the first half ... Harris went to the locker room during the third quarter with a sprained left shoulder after colliding with Stephen Jackson. He returned and took a charge against Shaun Livingston on the low block early in the fourth quarter.

UP NEXT: For the Bobcats, Friday @ Detroit, Saturday vs. Orlando, Monday vs. San Antonio. For the Nets, Friday @ Orlando, Saturday @ Miami, Tuesday vs. Cleveland.
