Welsh high jumper Julie Crane, who won silver at the 2006 Commonwealths, won the Welsh championship with a jump of 1.75 metres - but the that is almost 20 centimetres less than British number one Jessica Ennis' season's best.
But the Nets eventually settled in, bailed out by an Anthony Morrow jump shot, a Kris Humphries layup and a converted foul shot and then Marshon Brooks's running jumper, which made it 92-77.
