A team like the Brooklyn Nets certainly do not need extra possessions. But the Orlando Magic gave them a bunch anyway.
Give those bonus opportunities to a team with two All-Stars and the best offense in the league and you will be in for a very long night.
That was the case for the Magic on Thursday in Brooklyn. The Nets, with some help from the Magic’s inability to protect the ball or clean the glass, cruised to a 129-92 win over Orlando.
The win was the eighth straight for the surging Nets, who despite being with Kevin Durant for the last six games are now on their longest winning streak since the days of Jason Kidd and Vince Carter I’m 2006.
