New Jersey coach Lawrence Frank benched Vince Carter and Devin Harris after a poor first half Saturday against the Celtics, a move that has created some unrest.

"I don't know. I really don't have any comment," said team president Rod Thorn.

Frank discussed the move and reaffirmed his confidence in both Carter and Harris.

"Devin and Vince are a big reason for our winning. This was a one-game situation," Frank said. "Those two are vital to our success."
