- Pistons 83, Nets 75: This wasn't a good game for North Carolina products. Vince Carter got ejected in the second quarter, and Detroit's Rasheed Wallace didn't play in the second half after hurting his foot. If Carter hadn't argued, the Nets may have had a fighting chance. Richard Hamilton missed the game, leaving the Pistons short-handed. Alas, their run at the end came up short as Allen Iverson took the home team on his shoulders. Brooke Lopez had 23 points and 12 rebounds. Devin Harris poured in 19. There's always next year.
- Islanders 4, Panthers 2: Doug Weight didn't get his 1,000th career point. But Mike Comrie did score twice and the Islanders bid adieu to Uniondale -- for a while, at least -- with a nice win over the Panthers. After giving up a goal at the tail end of the first period, the Islanders struck for four straight. Weight had an assist on one of Comrie's goals. Sean Bergenheim and Mark Streit also scored. The Islanders now visit Phoenix, San Jose, Edmonton and Calgary.
