The Long Island Nets escaped with a victory on the road against the Lakeland Magic, the G League affiliate team of the Orlando Magic, on Friday night in a 94-93 victory. The win marked the first of two back-to-back games against Lakeland. Despite a tight contest throughout the first three quarters of play, the Nets stretched a lead out to double-digits in the final quarter, only for Lakeland to come storming back.
Unlike Tuesday night’s contest against the College Park Skyhawks, Long Island was able to hang in for the victory late.
The first half was an extremely close affair between the Nets and Magic.
