Was the Izod Center 61% full last night?

The announced attendance (but not necessarily gate count) for last night's home game between the New Jersey Nets and Milwaukee Bucks was 12,205, or 61.1% of the 19,968 capacity.

I doubt that many people attended, and surely there were not that many people there by the early fourth quarter of a blowout loss, as the photo indicates.
