No matter how often Jason Kidd said that tonight was going to be just another game, he did not mean it. Kidd was up all Tuesday night pacing instead of sleeping, planning a sweet revenge on the team that traded him to the Nets.

Kidd decided he was not going to score. Instead, he was going to send messages with perfectly timed and magically crafted passes to his teammates.

For one night, Kidd tipped the scales on last summer's blockbuster trade with the Phoenix Suns, completely outplaying Stephon Marbury and foiling his homecoming.
