THE New Jersey Nets notched their 10th victory of the season last night, avoiding any chance of equaling the worst record in NBA history by beating the short-handed San Antonio Spurs 90-84.
Brook Lopez had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Nets, who grabbed control with a 15-4 run late in the fourth quarter to improve to 10-64. The 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73, will remain in the record books as the league's worst team.
Public address announcer Gary Sussman shouted "We got 10! The Nets win!" after New Jersey snapped a 14-game losing streak in the series, committing a club record-low four turnovers in beating San Antonio for the first time since the 2003 NBA finals.
George Hill scored 19 points and former Net Richard Jefferson added 16 for the Spurs.
