Jason Kidd likened it to a playoff game. Byron Scott called it the second-biggest game of the Nets' season.

Scott's team delivered and celebrated its 106-87 victory over Phoenix on Wednesday much like it did an earlier win this season. Back on Nov. 16, the Nets routed the Knicks by 26 points. However, what happened the following night was ugly as the Nets fell in an uninspired 94-82 loss to Philadelphia at home.
