With 7 minutes and 11 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Shelden Williams grabbed a loose ball, dove towards the basket, and dunked with two hands. The Nets, after trailing by as much as fifteen in the first quarter, had clawed back into the ga...

Last nights Nets/Clippers game ended in dramatic fashion, with a buzzer-beating three pointer from Jordan Farmar. While Farmar will get rightful credit for draining the wide-open three, it was Deron Williams who made the play happen. Down two with no...
