The Brooklyn Nets (18 - 24) defeated the Sacramento Kings (16 - 26) 103 - 100 on Wednesday. The Nets were in control for much of this one. The Kings took a 5 - 4 lead early in the first quarter, and it was the only lead they'd hold all game, falling down by as much as 23 points late in the second quarter. In the second half, Sacramento closed the gap and made the score respectable, outscoring the Nets by 13 in the second half. However, it was n't enough as Brook Lopez stepped up with a big game, putting in 22 points and blocking six shots in 38 minutes off the bench. Mason Plumlee started but got into foul trouble and only played 11 minutes. Jarrett Jack continues to be solid in place of Deron Williams (ribs). Jack had 16 points, eight assists, four rebounds and two steals. DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Kings. Rudy Gay continues to play well in spite on a knee injury, leading his team in minutes with 42. Gay scored 25 points to go with eight rebounds and six assists. Ramon Sessions made his return from a back injury that has kept him out since Dec. 22. Sessions had four assists and four rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench. The Kings could've used a little more from their bench, as they were outscored 51 - 18 by the Brooklyn reserves. The Kings will play the Warriors on Friday, and the Nets will take on the Clippers on Thursday.
