Kidd shot 0-for-4 that night in 37 minutes, a span in which the team was outscored by 21 points, while Shumpert shot 3-for-3 in 26 minutes, a stretch that saw the Knicks outscore the Bulls by 19.
Not only did the Spurs reel off a 24-15 second-quarter run, outscore the Nets by 16 in the third, and by 15 in the fourth they also did it without center Tim Duncan (knee) and shooting guard Manu Ginobili (hamstring).
