#4 Kenyon Martin, Game 6 2003 NBA Finals
Stat Line: 6 Points, 10 Rebounds, 2 Blocks, 3-23 FG
Coming off a spanking in the 2002 NBA Finals at the hands of the Lakers, the Nets got back to the Finals the following year to face the Spurs. They put up a much better fight this time but it just wasn't enough.

After pulling off a huge road win in Game 2, the Nets lost 2 of their next 3 at home to find themselves down 3-2 in the series. To make matters worse, Game 6 & 7 would be played in San Antonio. Rather surprisingly, however, they were up 6 after 3 quarters despite Martin being 3-17. What followed though was a 4th quarter beat down.
The Nets got outscored 31-14 and Martin missed all of his 6 shots to end up with a miserable 3-23 for the night as the Spurs won 88-77. Martin's awful performance had a lot to do with the defense played on him by Tim Duncan. Over the last 2 games of the series, Duncan limited Martin to 5-31 shooting.
