 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Vince Carter's career has been built on his flashy offensive skills. But for one crucial moment Sunday night, it was Carter's defensive ability that stole the show.
Carter scored 22 points, then had a game-saving steal as the New Jersey Nets won their eighth straight game, beating the Detroit Pistons 79-74.
With 2.1 seconds to play and the Nets up 77-74, Carter deflected Ben Wallace's inbounds pass, then leaped over the baseline to save the ball and clinch the win.
