NEW YORK -- Jason Kidd has a winning record for the first time in his coaching career. Clay Matthews Youth Jersey . "Doesnt matter," he said. "It doesnt. Were playing better, thats all that matters." Better than anybody in the Eastern Conference since the new year, in fact. Joe Johnson scored 21 points, Marcus Thornton came off the bench for 20, and the Nets powered their way above .500 for the first time this season by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 103-94 on Wednesday night. Deron Williams added 16 points and Paul Pierce 14 for the Nets (30-29), who have won four in a row overall and six straight at home in turning around a turbulent start. They are still only sixth in the Eastern Conference, but look capable of climbing more after following a rout of Chicago on Monday by clobbering the Grizzlies for most of this one. The matchup between two of the NBAs best teams in 2014 was a mismatch until the fourth quarter, when the Nets had already led by 30. Memphis fell to 21-9 since Jan. 1, while the Nets 20-8 record is tops among East teams. "Its not always how you start, its going to be how you finish. And I think with the way weve been playing as of late, since the All-Star break, since the turn of the new year, this is the Nets team that I envisioned from the beginning of the season," Pierce said. Jon Leuer scored 19 and Marc Gasol 18 for the Grizzlies, who were without Zach Randolph because of the flu and then turned in a sickly performance. Memphis never led and missed a chance to tie Phoenix for the Wests eighth and final playoff spot. "We look at the standings every day. I hear guys talking about who lost, who won. Just to come out with a performance like this is devastating," guard Tony Allen said. "But we cant hold our heads down. Weve got to keep pushing." Leading scorer Mike Conley missed all eight shots and had two points and six turnovers. "It was a tough night," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "We had some guys really, really struggle tonight. Give them credit. They came out and played with a much more forceful nature, attacking us, both being physical defensively and just the mentality that, you know Were going to bring it to you." Jason Collins played 17 scoreless minutes on the day he signed his second 10-day contract. The NBAs first openly gay player got a visit in the locker room before the game from Commissioner Adam Silver, but received just polite applause when he checked in during the second quarter after getting a standing ovation Monday during his home debut. Randolph sat in front of his locker before the game with his sweatshirts hood pulled over his head, ultimately deciding he lacked the energy to play. Pierce went right at his replacement, Ed Davis, and already had eight points by the time Davis was yanked with the Grizzlies trailing 13-2. James Johnson replaced him and quickly botched a fast-break layup as Memphis missed 10 of its first 11 shots. Andray Blatches three-point play made it 26-5 with 3:30 left in the first, and Brooklyn led 54-44 at halftime. Brooklyn scored the first nine of the second half to open a 19-point lead and kept pouring it on by making six 3-pointers in the third quarter. The lead hit 87-57 on Johnsons short jumper, but the Nets had to bring starters back when the Grizzlies sliced that in half by midway in the fourth. The Nets were 10-21 after getting blown out at San Antonio on New Years Eve, threatening to become the NBAs biggest flop after building a team that would cost more than $180 million in salary and taxes. But theyve kept rolling after losing leading scorer Brook Lopez for the season, and most recently playing without Kevin Garnett for the past three because of back spasms. They picked up Thornton in a trade with Sacramento just before the trade deadline, a move that was all but ignored after they signed Collins a few days later. But hes scored 20 or more in two of his first five games with the Nets, and had 15 in the second quarter alone Wednesday. Notes: The Nets are 9-3 against West teams since Jan. 1. ... The Grizzlies Nick Calathes was chosen Wednesday as the Western Conference rookie of the month for February, when he averaged 10.7 points and 4.6 assists. ... Memphis had scored 110 in each of two previous games and was averaging 103.4 since the All-Star break. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey . In the end, Ervin Santanas desire to pitch in the National League and his willingness to play the waiting game won the day when he signed a one-year deal with the Braves worth a reported $14. Custom Packers Jersey . -- Anthony Gose ran all over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, and in doing so helped the Toronto Blue Jays steal a 3-2 victory to extend their spring training winning streak to 10 games. http://www.thepackersfootballonline.com/packers-brett-hundley-womens-jersey/ . Pressley missed all of last season with Cincinnati because of a knee injury. The 5-foot-10, 249-pounder has made 20 career starts in the NFL for the Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.The NHLs Mar. 2 Trade Deadline is approaching and teams are making decisions on whether to buy, sell and decide which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out todays trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TradeCentre on TSN and TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Departing the Desert? With the Arizona Coyotes sitting third last in the entire NHL, the team will be looking to sell off pieces before the Mar. 2 trade deadline. General manager Don Maloney and majority owner Andrew Barroway are calling the situation a reset. According to TSNs Pierre LeBrun, pending free agents Antoine Vermette, Martin Erat, Zbynek Michalek and David Moss are the key pieces available, with the interest in Vermette already well apparent since before the All-Star break. Defenceman Keith Yandle could also be a trade asset as there have been plenty of inquiries, but Maloney would rather keep the 28-year-old as part of the rebuilding core. The team hopes to acquire young assets in these deals while further bolstering their lineup with the upcoming draft and in free agency. Avalanche of Deals? The Colorado Avalanche have been looking to aacquire a two-way defenceman and now with Eric Johnson out three to eight weeks with a knee injury, that search should only intensify. Quinten Rollins Packers Jersey. According to Terry Frei of the Denver Post, the Avalanche are working to make a deal using forward Ryan OReilly as bait. OReillys name has surfaced in rumours all year and that is unlikely to slow down as the deadline approaches. Frei also mentions that with the recent play of goaltender Calvin Pickard, the team could start listening to offers on Semyon Varlamov, though at this point it is unlikely. Murky Waters The San Jose Sharks currently sit second in the tight Pacific Division but could also be on the outside looking in if the team does do not improve their play. It is unclear whether or not the Sharks want to add to the team or sell off some pieces writes Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com. San Jose has a number of pending unrestricted free agents such as James Sheppard, Tyler Kennedy, Andrew Desjardins and Antti Niemi who could be attractive pieces on the trade market. General Manager Doug Wilson has stated that he wont trade a young prospect or high draft pick for a veteran rental while attempting to restructure their lineup. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
