The Nets announced Sunday that P.J. Carlesimo wouldn't return, hours after they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Carlesimo helped the Nets finish 49-33 after replacing the fired Avery Johns...

Not the series. Certainly not their first season in Brooklyn. "We didn't want it to end. Nobody in this locker room wants it to end. Nobody is ready to go home," backup center Andray Blatche said. "We still feel like we have the opportunity and chance to make it to the second round." ...

They need one more victory to set up the biggest game here yet. Brook Lopez had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams added 23 points and 10 assists, and the Nets beat Chicago 110-91 on Monday night, cutting the Bulls' lead to 3-2 in ...

Bad idea, though James decided not to fire back. "I let my game do the talking," James said. No other response was necessary. James had 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and the Heat blew out Bro...

Once again, veteran assistant Jim Boylan is being asked to pick up the pieces. One day after Milwaukee and Skiles agreed it was time for a change, the Bucks said Tuesday that Boylan will coach the team for the rest of the season. General manager John Hammond downplayed ...

Mikhail Prokhorov's new agenda calls for lunch with his basketball coach. Prokhorov can always reschedule his vacation. Fixing his team couldn't wait. So the Brooklyn Nets owner fired Avery Johnson, made P.J. Carlesimo the team's interim coach, and put aside pleasure for business. ...

Sunday they can close it out in perfect fashion against a familiar foe — the same Utah team they rallied to beat 116-114 Friday night to earn their 16th straight win. If they extend their streak by beating the Jazz at home Sunday, they will join the 1995-96 Spurs and 1971-...

The Brooklyn Nets have elevated expectations this season, and a .500 record wasn't good enough. Coach Avery Johnson was fired Thursday, his team having lost 10 of 13 games after a strong start to its first season in Brooklyn. "We don't have the same fire now th...

If it hadn't started when the Nets left New Jersey and set up shop in the Knicks' city, it surely arrived when Jason Kidd delivered the tiebreaking 3-pointer Tuesday night, making himself an enemy of his former franchise. "I hate him," Nets guard Deron Williams said. Williams ...

The message came too late for Rajon Rondo. The Celtics point guard was ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Nets when he retaliated for a hard foul against Kevin Garnett by shoving Brooklyn forward Kris Humphries into the courtside seats. Rondo, Humphries and Nets forw...

The first matchup in Brooklyn was everything they could have hoped for. "It was just a total 180 from what we saw last year, where it was mostly Knicks fans and all the chants and all the cheers were for them. It's great to feel that we have a home-court advant...
