The Brooklyn Nets continue their winning ways with another victory in Barclays Center, their seventh straight win at home. It wasn’t easy. This game featured 17 ties and 15 lead changes. It was truly a back-and-forth affair.
This isn’t necessarily surprising considering the Nets and Magic battled to the final seconds on Friday night in Orlando, a game the Nets won 117-115.
The Magic and the Nets play three times in the span of a few weeks and this victory gives the Nets the edge with wins in the first two matchups. The Magic will likely slide out of the playoff race as the season progresses, but there’s a small chance that this tiebreaker will be significant at the end of the season.
