Defenseless Nets run out of magic in Orlando
Brutal 4th quarter costs Brooklyn shot at 3rd straight victory
The Brooklyn Nets were just under six minutes away from completing an inspiring and unexpected three-game winning streak since Jeremy Lin went down for the season with a gruesome Opening Night knee injury.
Then, reality finally set in.
Brooklyn squandered a six-point lead down the stretch after leading by as many as 12 points earlier in the second half, suffering a gut-wrenching 125-121 loss to the Orlando Magic Tuesday night in front of 16,015 fans at the Amway Center.
