Carter scores 40 as Nets beat Knicks

Basketball Betting Lines

02/26/2007 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vince Carter poured in 40 points, pulled down nine rebounds and dished out eight assists as New Jersey dumped New York, 101-92, at Continental Airlines Arena.

Mikki Moore added 19 points for the Nets, who won their second straight game and moved to with 4 1/2 games of idle Toronto in the Atlantic Division. Bostjan Nachbar chipped in with 15 points and 10 boards, while Jason Kidd finished with 11 points and 14 assists.

"It's all created from defense," said Carter. "We boxed out and limited them to one shot which creates easy baskets. We started to feel good about yourself and really moved the ball well."

Stephon Marbury had 22 points for the Knicks, who have lost eight of nine games versus the Nets. Eddy Curry donated 18 points and Channing Frye tallied 15 points off the bench for New York.

The Nets entered the second half looking at a nine-point deficit but took control with a dominant third quarter. New Jersey outscored the Knicks 33-15 in the frame behind 12 points from Carter to take a 77-68 lead into the final frame.

"The third quarter is the thing that really killed," said Knicks coach Isiah Thomas. "Vince was an amazing part of that."

The Knicks refused to go away, however, and Jamal Crawford's three made it a one-possession game, 87-84, with 6:53 remaining.

But, New Jersey responded and put the game away with an 8-0 run. Moore capped the flurry with a jumper to make it 95-84 with just 2:18 left.

New York never seriously threatened from there.

The Knicks ran out to a 28-22 lead after the opening 12 minutes and extended their advantage to nine, 53-44, by intermission.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
