(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)The Nets outscored the Magic 29-14 in the fourth quarter, forced five more minutes of action at Barclays Center and took a 103-101 lead with 5.3 seconds left in overtime Wednesday night when rookie Egor Demin hit his fifth 3-pointer of the game.
It felt like a moment of déjà vu, less than 24 hours after Orlando fell on the road at Washington and just a week after Paolo Banchero made a layup with 7.5 seconds left in regulation to lift his team past the lowly Pacers.
