Nets 93 Sacramento Kings 79: While a win would be good news for any other team, it's remarkable news for the New Jersey Nets. The hapless team, which has struggled to remain competitive in the second half of games, managed to build on its lead in the third quarter. Brook Lopez had 26 points and Devin Harris had 24, while the Kings' rookie of the year Tyreke Evans sat out.
For those keeping track, this means that if the Nets can win one more game in their remaining 11, they'll tie the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers' for the most losses in a season (the Nets have lost 63 so far).
Also, Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe's mother, former Miss America Colleen Kay Hutchins, passed away in California. Vandeweghe missed the Nets' Monday loss to the Miami Heat in order to spend time with his mother.

Rangers 5 Islanders 0: The Rangers showed intensity and determination, something they have been sorely lacking most of the season. Sean Avery was at his agitating best, getting under the skin of the Islanders so much that he got them to commit 16 minutes of penalties in a sequence where he escaped without an infraction. Marian Gaborik added two goals and an assist while Henrik Lundqvist earned his third shutout of the year.
