Nets lead the Lakers, 35-25, and did quite well to take the pressure off Jason Collins, who comes in now early in the second quarter.

He'll defend Kaman, who hit 2 of his first 3 shots. LAL down 11. RT @KevinDing: Some applause when Jason Collins is introduced.

I was expecting a bit more from the Staples Center crowd when Jason Collins checked in. But maybe that's a good thing. #justplay
