BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The last time these two teams played, the Nets erased a 21-point deficit and defeated the Magic in improbable fashion.
This one wasn’t exactly a comeback, but it was another intriguing ending with the Nets finding ways to dig it out, 114-110. The Nets are 26-23 on the season, have won five straight games — six straight at home (11 of 12) and are the NBA’s hottest team since December 6 with an 18-5 record. It’s their best 23-game stretch since the 2005-2006 season.
They’re two wins away from matching their win total from last season.
