Multiple media outlets have reported discussed deals that would send Lopez, who has spent his entire career in Brooklyn, to either Charlotte or Oklahoma City. We all just tried to be aggressive, said Lopez. We tried to not let the ball stick, move the ball. Each of us took advantage of what they were doing. Mason Plumlee finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double- double in the last six games. Bojan Bogdanovic was the only other Nets player in double figures with 11. The Nets held the Wizards under 43 percent shooting from the field and under 24 percent from long range. Brooklyn forced Washington into 19 turnovers with only 10 of its own. The Nets head west starting Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Theyll also visit the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz on the jaunt out west.

John Wall had 13 points and six assists for Washington, which is second in the Eastern Conference, five games behind the Atlanta Hawks. Kris Humphries added 12 and a team-high eight boards off the bench. Energy, focus. We didnt approach this opponent the right way, said Humphries. No other Washington player scored in double figures, but DeJuan Blair was the only Wizards member who saw action on Friday, but didnt register a single point. Paul Pierce will make his first trip back to Brooklyn as a member of the Wizards. He played one season with the Nets, but it was an explosive campaign.

Speaking to reporters at baseball owners meetings Wednesday, Steinbrenner said he isnt thinking about 2015. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rodriguez for 211 games in August, and arbitrator Fredric Horowitz cut the penalty last weekend to the 2014 season and post-season. The arbitrator found "clear and convincing evidence" the three-time AL MVP used three banned substances and twice tried to obstruct Major League Baseballs investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Rodriguez responded by suing MLB and the players association in an effort to overturn the decision. Asked if he would welcome Rodriguez back, Steinbrenner said, "Hes a great player." "I have not though about 2015, nor am I going to right now," Steinbrenner said. "My focus has to be right now. But when hes on and when hes healthy, hes obviously an asset. Well see what haappens.dddddddddddd" Rodriguezs relationship with the Yankees became strained last summer, when he wanted to come off the disabled list following hip surgery before the team said he was ready. Rodriguez returned Aug. 5, the day Selig announced his suspension. In October, Rodriguez sued the Yankees team physician and a New York hospital, accusing them of mishandling his medical care during the 2012 AL playoffs. Rodriguezs salary this year was cut from $25 million to $2,868,852 because of the suspension; Horowitz decided baseball drug agreement requires he lose 162 days of pay over the 183-day season. New York was required to make a $3 million payment to Rodriguez on Wednesday, the last installment of the $10 million signing bonus that is part of the contract Rodriguez agreed to before the 2008 season. The Yankees owe A-Rod $21 million in 2015 and $20 million in each of the deals final two seasons. "Those of you that know me, Im pretty objective in my thinking," Steinbrenner said. "This is business. Im just focusing on the team, a player. Is the player an asset to the club or not? Thats about as far as I look. I dont get personal."
