Nets 107, Knicks 83
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jason Kidd took his anger out after being shoved to the court by a backup guard, and Jason Collins knocked Tim Thomas out of the game on a flagrant foul in the fourth quarter of Game 1. Kidd channeled his annoyance at being sent sprawling by Frank Williams into a 14-point, 13-assist performance. Kerry Kittles hit his first six shots and scored 20 points as the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions shot nearly 60 percent in the first half and used their defense to put the game away in the second half, holding New York to 28 points. The most physical moment of the game came midway through the fourth quarter when Thomas, driving to the basket, was hit hard across the body and in the face by Collins. Thomas landed on his lower back and rolled over in pain, then walked off with assistance and went to the locker room. There was no immediate word on his condition. Richard Jefferson added 21 points and Kenyon Martin had 16 for the Nets, who outscored New York 28-4 on the fast break -- including 14-2 in the first quarter. Stephon Marbury scored just 13 points for the Knicks, who are making their first playoff appearance since 2001. New York had several players score in spurts, but no one carried the team. Penny Hardaway led the Knicks with 18 and Nazr Mohammed had 16. The much-anticipated point guard matchup between Kidd and Marbury didn't amount to much. In fact, Marbury was on the bench with 7:34 to go in the second quarter when the game turned. Williams tried to take an offensive foul with Kidd leading the fast break. Kidd fed Martin for a slam, and Williams and Kidd collided after the pass. Williams went down and Kidd stood over him and appeared to say something. With the Knicks inbounding, Williams shoved Kidd to the floor. He got a technical, and the officials gave Kidd a technical for taunting.

Spurs 98, Grizzlies 74
SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio got 26 points from Tim Duncan and took control early. The Spurs used their size advantage to produce easy inside baskets from Duncan and Robert Horry, while their relentless defense made Pau Gasol a non-factor while holding Memphis to its worst shooting percentage of the season. San Antonio led 49-34 at the break, and the lead grew as large as 28 before the Spurs' regulars sat down for the night. Gasol, the Grizzlies' leading scorer, went 3-for-11 from the floor and finished with 14 points. Manu Ginobili added 15 points for the Spurs, while Hedo Turkoglu had 12 and Horry and Tony Parker each scored 10.
