EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. ? The last thing Vince Carter needed to see in his first game against his former team was a well-rested Jalen Rose.

Carter struggled in his first game against the team that traded him to New Jersey earlier this season, missing 17 of 25 shots while being outplayed by Rose in the Toronto Raptors’ 100-82 victory over the Nets on Tuesday night.

Rose shot 12-for-15, scored 30 points and did a fine defensive job on Carter, who seemed to be pressing in a game he acknowledged meant a lot to him. Rose led the Raptors on a 14-4 run early in the fourth quarter, and New Jersey never recovered.

“He probably was a little tired from All-Star weekend. While he was running up and down the court throwing it off the backboard, I was laying on the beach drinking a fruity drink with an umbrella,” Rose said.

Chris Bosh had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Milt Palacio added 13 points for Toronto, which had six players in double figures. Carter scored 22 points, and Jason Kidd added 20 for the Nets, who had no one else in double figures.

Carter seemed loose before the game as he discussed last weekend’s slam-dunk contest won by Josh Smith of Atlanta. Carter said he had a dunk in his repertoire that no one had seen yet, a specialty he plans to keep under wraps until the next time he enters the dunk contest. But once the game began, Carter missed several drives, was off-target with his jumper, committed four turnovers and missed four free throws.

“It’s disappointing, the way we played. I think we’ve played better,” Carter said. “It’s always a concern coming out of the All-Star break how your team makes its comeback after the break.”

Houston — Ray Allen scored 29 points, capped by two free throws with 16.7 seconds left, to help Seattle snap Houston’s eight-game winning streak. Houston had a chance to tie it with five seconds left, but Scott Padgett’s three-point attempt was short, and Allen came up with the rebound. Houston led throughout the game before a dunk by Allen with 38 seconds left put Seattle ahead, 85-84.
