Nice finish!
Coming into their third tournament game and first in Brooklyn, the Nets were looking to continue building momentum especially after learning Ben Simmons would still be out for a while due to a nerve impingement.
Brooklyn got out to a huge lead with Spencer Dinwiddie Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson all contributing.
But in the second quarter the Magic bounced back to take a lead.
But in that third quarter Cam Johnson exploded and helped Brooklyn come back into the game and finished with a solid 20 points while Bridges had another important 20+ points performance….
Then in the fourth quarter Spencer Dinwiddie who had a masterclass performance made some insane three point shots and kept attacking the rim all night to finish with a solid 29 points 🔥…
Overall a solid team win for a tough gritty Brooklyn squad building their identity and now onto the next game. Let's go 😎….
GG Nets
Nic Claxton getting into foul trouble was very unnecessary and tough to start the game.
But Dayron Sharpe who's finally starting to find some consistency had another amazing performance and had a solid 10 rebounds and 11 points 🔥….
But Claxton really closed out the fourth strong and bounced back even with the foul trouble….
Cam Johnson though had his best game since he's come back and that third quarter burst was amazing to see Johnson knocking down these point buckets, getting defensive steals and taking it to the rim 🔥🔥🔥…
Johnson is so important to this team on both sides of the floor….
Great win nets 20 points team is playing better good to see
Dennis Smith Jr may not be everyone's favorite player and missed some buckets tonight he kept playing and whether it was causing a defensive turnover, throwing some important assist lobs to Nic Claxton or making an important bucket to close the third quarter Dennis has been contributing for this team…
Especially without Ben Simmons for a unspecified period of time Dennis provides the defensive intangibles and has been a backup playmaker of sorts as well…
Really hope bridges can get back to the offensive level he was at last season… that said dinwiddie proved he can be the main guy on offense with no cam, royce oneale is the greatest player of all time 🙏🙏
Spencer Dinwiddie

Nets are the most average NBA team.
Yessss go Brooklyn!!!!
The Nets sure have become a lot more fun since The Three Headaches left town
Good game NETS 🏀
Nets so deep 😳
Simmons, DSJ, and a couple picks for LaVine….imagine this lineup with Cam Thomas, LaVine, Bridges, Johnson, and Clax. 🔥
The Brooklyn Nets are 6-5⚫️⚪️🏀🌃🗽
Brooklyn outscored Orlando 52-36 in the paint. That was the difference in the game.
Dinwiddie had a great game but don’t expect this all the time…for every good game he has there’s a 3-5 game stretch where he’s ass…ANYWAYS Day’Ron, Lonnie and Cam played great tonight and we won a game we SHOULD’VE won…not saying the Magic are garbage but the Nets are the better team
I was on the big screen
Dayron Sharpe is gonna be hard to keep on the bench. Man is thriving with no plays ran for him. Insane.
Brooklyn Nets win this game
Brookly Nets are finally back no superstars, no more drama just playing with fun on court
Half court comet ☄️🤯.
Magic's problem really seems to be coaching, they have the pieces to play really well but it always seems like the opposing team adjusts and we go into panic mode in late game situations. Its not the player's choking, its bad lineups and lack of preparation. Get our guys to refine their late game tactics and we can easily close out games.
The Cam Jam!! Welcome back 🎉.
The problem with the magic is that average players handle the ball too much, they should always give it to wagner or paolo
Jalen Suggs need step up for 3rd scoring option.

Brooklyn nets strong 😎💪🗽🖤. Still need another big man besides Claxton

Nets plays better if thomas isn't playing
