Vince Carter's performance on Sunday has been criticized and head coach Lawrence Frank stood up for his player to the media.

"Watch the tape again," Frank said Monday. "Hey, when you're a primary scorer, there are going to be a couple shots that you're going to take and you live with. But he had so many great attacks. It didn't fall for him. Doesn't make him any less of a player, doesn't make him any less of a person. Look, this guy has helped turn the franchise around. We're going to be fine."
