The Brooklyn Nets made their first visit to Orlando in mid-January and trailed by 19 points in the third quarter.
That is when D’Angelo Russell started cooking, on his way to 40 points. He would hit big shot after big shot in the fourth quarter. Finally, he would drain a step-back 3-pointer over Evan Fournier, pointing to his arm as he does after big shots. The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Orlando Magic 117-115.
That game would prove to be critical in keeping the Nets in sixth in the Eastern Conference.
