The Nets (38 - 44) took care of business Wednesday, defeating the Magic (25 - 57) 101 - 88. The game was a must - win for Brooklyn, who trail the eighth place Pacers by a half - game in the Eastern Conference. If the Pacers fall to the Grizzlies, they’ll relinquish their playoff spot to the Nets. If not, Brooklyn’s season is over. A loss would not improve Orlando’s draft position, so the Magic had nothing to play for but pride. They put up a good fight. Orlando led by two points at halftime. Midway through the third, they extended their lead to 10 points. But, by the end of the quarter, the Nets had closed the gap, tying the game 75 - 75. The fourth quarter was all Brooklyn, as they outscored the Magic 26 - 13. The Nets’ leading scorer came off the bench. Bojan Bogdanovic had 28 points (12 - 17 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes. Thaddeus Young had 16 points (5 - 13 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 37 minutes. Joe Johnson also scored 16 points (7 - 15 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt), to go with seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 41 minutes. Brook Lopez had a relatively quiet game, recording 14 points (4 - 8 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, four steals and three blocks in 33 minutes. Nikola Vucevic was the Magic’s leading scorer with 26 points (12 - 21 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt), to go with 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes. Victor Oladipo had 19 points (7 - 17 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 44 minutes.
