Trail Blazers 60 at Nets 64
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Alonzo Mourning made two layups, and the New Jersey Nets found some late offense to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 64-60 Tuesday night in what was nearly the lowest scoring game in modern NBA history.

The 124-point total was only five off the previous record for combined scoring futility. Boston beat Milwaukee 62-57 in a game at Providence, R.I., in 1955, the first year of the NBA's 24-second clock.
The teams needed more than 47 minutes to get past 119. Portland's Zach Randolph got the honor of reaching the 120-point mark with a floater with 44.6 seconds to go to cut the Nets' lead to 62-58.

Randolph closed the deficit to two points with two free throws with 13 seconds remaining, but the undermanned Nets - who dressed only 10 players - iced the game when Jacque Vaughn hit two free throws with 13 seconds to play.

Mourning led the Nets with 14 points in his first start since undergoing a kidney transplant in December and his first start overall since the 2001-02 season with Miami.

Brian Scalabrine and Zoran Planinic added 12 points apiece for New Jersey, which won despite making only 25 baskets.

Randolph had 16 points to lead the Trail Blazers, who were 19-for78 (24.4 percent). Portland was 3 of 19 from 3-point range, electing to shoot from long range instead of going inside against New Jersey, which lost big man Jason Collins with an ankle injury in the first half.

New Jersey only attempted seven 3-pointers, but they made their only 3 in the fourth quarter.

Rodney Buford nailed a 3-pointer with 4:26 to go to give New Jersey a 55-54 lead. Richard Jefferson, who was a woeful 3-of-11 from the field, followed with another 3-pointer to push the lead to 58-54.

After an offensive foul, Mourning powered his way inside for a basket with 3:11 to go and he added another on a pick and roll with Jefferson with 1:24 left to put New Jersey ahead 62-56.

Mourning played a season-high 37 minutes, hitting 5 of 10 from the field and grabbing 12 rebounds.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 13 points and 12 rebounds for Portland, which lost its second in a row after starting the season with two wins. Derek Anderson added 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting.

Damon Stoudamire hit his first two shots and missed his final 10 for the Trail Blazers, who came within two points of breaking their franchise low for a game.

Despite making only 14 baskets in the opening 36 minutes and shooting 22.5 percent from the field, the Trail Blazers held a 46-45 lead entering the fourth quarter. Mercer (knee) and Travis Best (ankle) missed the game. ... Despite being short-handed, Nets coach Lawrence Frank didn't use rookie Nenad Krstic.



60 points, tlong against the Nets??? :lol

No, but mine was better, because tlong could read the recap of the game also.

UGLY! That was the worst display of offense I have ever seen in the NBA! Fortunately it only counts as one loss though.

Really...one loss?

Seems some trolls in here should recognize the same thing, LakerGod.
