Farmar Leads Nets Past Clippers In Overtime

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- Brook Lopez and Jordan Farmar each scored 24 points, combining for all eight of New Jersey's in overtime, and the Nets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 102-98 Friday
night for their fourth straight victory.

Kris Humphries had 19 points, a career-high 20 rebounds and made all eight shots while playing All-Star Blake Griffin to at least a draw as the Nets erased a 20-point deficit for their longest winning streak since also taking four in a row from Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2009.

Chris Kaman had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Griffin added 23 points and nine boards, but he missed the potential go-ahead free throw with 1.2 seconds remaining.

Randy Foye scored 19 points in his hometown, but the Clippers' four-game winning streak was
snapped.
