ORLANDO, Fla. — The Nets came out flat and hung over on Friday, but still managed to pull off some more magic.
After Wednesday’s stunning overtime rally in Houston, they staged an encore with a 117-115 victory against the Magic at Amway Center.
Nets coach Kenny Atkinson had spent Friday afternoon fretting about how his players would respond. But he also praised their fighting spirit — and that’s exactly what they showed in coming back from 21 points down to win.
