 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Rookie Josh Boone again provided the New Jersey Nets a late-season lift in their push to nail down a playoff berth. Boone scored a career-high 22 points Wednesday night to lead the Nets to a 118-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Boone came off the bench to hit 11 of 13 from the field. He also pulled down 10 rebounds in his second strong game. Boone was perfect on all 10 shots from the field in the Nets' 113-107 overtime win in Charlotte on Saturday.
"It's great to be able to come out and contribute," Boone said. "I've been working really hard in practice and waiting for my shot. Recently, I've been getting it and I've been trying to make the best of my time."
