Nets CEO Brett Yormark and Chris Lisi of Middletown will sit down for lunch Tuesday at the Nets' headquarters. Lunch, of course, will be brown-bag style. Yormark had a brief heated exchange with Lisi a week ago after seeing him with the brown bag on his head during a game. Yormark defended his actions the next day, saying h |

| (MySportsbook) - The suddenly streaking San Antonio Spurs shoot for their 15th straight win over the woeful New Jersey Nets at IZOD Center tonight.

Manu Ginobili scored 28 points and dished out seven assists in that one, as San Antonio limited the Celtics to just 30 points in the second half in a surprising 94-73 rout at TD Garden. Richard Jefferson totaled 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who n |

| (MySportsbook) - It took nearly five months but the New Jersey Nets are finally riding a winning streak. Now the club hopes to take the final step in avoiding some rather ignominious history when they take on the slumping Chicago Bulls in the Windy City. Brook Lopez and Yi Jianlian each netted career-highs with 37 and 31 points, respectively, last night as the Nets took down the Pistons, 118-110, for their first winning streak this season. The two shot a combined 26-of-33 from the field and became the first |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New Jersey Nets chief executive Brett Yormark isn't one to let a marketing opportunity go astray. Two days after a brief finger-pointing exchange with a fan who wore a paper bag on his head to protest the Nets' dismal season, Yormark came prepared for more potential protesters during Wednesday's game against Sacramento. Any fan who put a paper bag on his head would be offered a nylon Nets' bag containing a poster, a pack of player trading cards and a printed note from Yormark |

NEW YORK (AP) - Former NBA star Jayson Williams had done nothing illegal and was just sitting in his wrecked car when police arrested him on drunken-driving charges earlier this year, a defense lawyer said Monday.
