Brook Lopez had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and the Nets moved a step closer to avoiding a dubious date with N.B.A.history by beating the Sacramento Kings , 93-79, on Wednesday night to end an eight-game losing streak and a franchise-record 14-game skid at home.
Devin Harris added 24 points and 9 assists for the Nets (8-63), who need to win once in their last 11 games to avoid breaking the league mark for fewest wins in a season (9-73), set by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73.
Brett Yormark, the Nets' chief executive, came to the game prepared for more potential bag-wearing protesters.
Any fan who put a paper bag on his head — as a fan did Monday, prompting an exchange with Yormark — would be offered a nylon Nets’ bag containing a poster, a pack of player trading cards and a printed note from Yormark that said: “Thanks for letting us see your face. We hope to see it more often at Nets' games.”
Barry Baum, a Nets spokesman, said two people accepted the exchange offer by halftime.
