It looked promising and then it didn’t.
The Nets played poorly throughout the first three quarters and the feeling was gloomy as the Nets entered the fourth down 19. Ugly. Suddenly, Brooklyn came out with a 16-1 scoring run, on the back of Kyrie Irving, who finished with 43 points, six rebounds, and four assists - making it a four-point game with 7:32 remaining.
The offensive firepower simmered but never reached boil as the Nets kept missing clean looks from deep and going cold when it mattered as the Magic regathered their footing and held on to escape with the 121-113 win.
