If only the Nets could play the Bobcats more, the worst record in NBA history might not be in jeopardy.
Courtney Lee scored 21 points, Devin Harris added 17 and New Jersey never trailed in beating Charlotte 103-94 on Tuesday night for only its fifth win of the season.
Two of them have come against the Bobcats, who were the first team to lose to the Nets after their 0-18 start.
Brook Lopez added 16 points before fouling out for the energized Nets (5-48), who snapped an eight-game losing streak, improved to 2-27 on the road and moved ahead of the pace of the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished 9-73.
Gerald Wallace scored 21 points for the Bobcats, who allowed the NBA’s worst-shooting and lowest-scoring team to shoot 52 percent.
