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...

The first Game 7 in Brooklyn belonged not to the Nets, but to the guy who played here in high school. "I'll remember this for the rest of my life," Noah said. Injured, ill and ju...

The Nets have brought their first-round series against Chicago to a Game 7, a victory away from equaling the largest playoff comeback in NBA history. And they've brought it back home, where Barclays Center has to be more than a beautiful, $1 billion building. They are countin...

Now, they will try and finish off an improbable comeback. The Nets are one win away from overcoming a 3-1 series hole after beating Chicago 95-92 Thursday night to force a seventh game. Then again, the way Gerald Wallace sees it, they never should have been in that predicament. ...

Instead, they stumbled. Their first-round series shifts back to Chicago for Game 6 on Thursday, and the Bulls look like a team that could be in trouble even though they lead 3-2. That's because Kirk Hinrich was sidelined by a calf injury. Joakim Noah still seems limited by a foot...

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 ...

Go figure, Nate Robinson led them back. Robinson scored 34 points, and Chicago wiped out a 14-point deficit late in regulation and beat the Brooklyn Nets 142-134 in triple overtime Saturday to take a 3-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.

There were long scoreless stretches. Shooting from outside was a dicey proposition. It was ugly for everyone but the Chicago Bulls. This was their type of game. Carlos Boozer had 22 points and 16 rebounds, Luol Deng added 21 points and 10 boards, and the Bulls held off the Brooklyn ...

Ripping apart the vaunted Chicago Bulls defense during an impressive second quarter, the Nets punctuated their return to the postseason with a 106-89 victory on Saturday night. Deron Williams scored 22 points, Brook Lopez had 21 and the Nets made 16 of 20 shots in the second period on their way to 60 pe...

They're hoping they won't have to play this way much more. By getting the ball inside to Brook Lopez early, letting Reggie Evans clean the glass all night and putting the ball in Joe Johnson's hands late, the Nets returned to their winning ways, beating Indiana 89-84 in...

Dwight Howard couldn't start and Pau Gasol couldn't finish. And in this difficult season for the Los Angeles Lakers, even the victories seem to come with losses. "It feels good to pull out a win like this, but now rea...

Rubio zipped the kind of behind-the-back pass that made him a sensation in Minnesota during his rookie season, the kind of flashy play that put rear ends in the seats at Target Center and made the Timberwolves one of the most exciti...

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. ...

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...

This time, the second period featured some of the best basketball the Celtics have played this season. Rondo scored 19 points in his first full game against the Nets this season, and the Celtics won 93-76 on Tuesday in another game wi...

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.

The first matchup in Brooklyn was everything they could have hoped for.
