Nets 87 Atlanta 72. Nets go to 12-7.

Nothing a little home cooking can't fix. Four solid quarters for the first time in a while.

Jefferson scored 22 pts on 9-12 shooting, with 14 rebounds. K-Mart added 18. Most importantly, the Nets easilly overcame a 3-13 shooting night from Kidd, who averaged about 25 pts a game on the 5 game road trip, and, I believe, led the team in scoring every night as the Nets lost 3 out of the 5.

Nets played solid defense, too, holding Abdul-Rahim, Robinson, and Terry to a combined 31 pts, about half their season average.

Nice to see you back, Irishman. Don't get too excited about Jefferson yet. He's been in and out, and he cost them the Seattle game with two missed free throws.
