BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- The force wasn't with the Nets on Star Wars Night. Actually, it was quite the opposite.
The Nets lost their second straight game, 105-82, to the Orlando Magic Monday night in Brooklyn. The Nets hoped the Return of the Jedi would happen for Brook Lopez on his Jedi bobblehead night, but the big fella struggled yet again with 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting.
Along with Brook, Joe Johnson did his best trickery of magic with a disappearing act. We've seen it often this season. Joe put home six points on 2-of-8 shooting in what continues to be a very disappointing season for number 7.
