| 10:03 AM ET  03.16 | The New Jersey Nets may have just gotten back on track everyone.  After losing 6 straight on their West Coast road trip, they have now won 2 quality games in a row.  First the Nets went to Cleveland and beat the Cavs 104-99 even when LeBron scored 42 points and had 11 rebounds and 7 assists.  Then, 2 nights later, the Nets came home to play against the Utah Jazz. At halftime in that game, the Nets trailed by 7.  At the end of the 3rd they were down by 5.  Then in the 4th things got interesting.  First, Carlos Boozer matched his season high and then his career high in points with 41. The game was very high scoring and with 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter the score was 115-115 and the Nets had possesion.  Then Richard Jefferson drove to the basket and made a layup with 1.5 seconds left.  The Jazz then called time.  They threw the ball in to Mehmet Okur who shot a 3-pointer at the buzzer.  It missed badly and the Nets won their second straight game.  In this game, Devin Harris also tied career highs in rebounds and assists and Josh Boone had a double-double for the Nets.  After this, the Nets take on Chicago and Atlanta.  If they can win those 2 games they should be able to start creating a cushion in their lead in the 8th seed.  I don't know what you think but it looks like the Nets are sailing hight to me!
