Chalk one up for those rooting for the Nets to get a top draft pick. Brooklyn was outplayed during Friday night's 123-100 loss versus Orlando.
Jordi Fernandez's crew was riding a three-game winning streak into the game, but Orlando had their number for the second time this season.
Franz Wagner proved to be unstoppable with 28 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. Shake Milton scored a career high 22 points, and Keon Johnson poured in 15.
The short-handed Nets couldn't pull another rabbit out of their hat. Orlando cruised to a relatively easy victory, but Brooklyn will get another shot Barclays, ,on Sunday in a matinee contest.
Friday's loss to the Magic was the second worst point differential of the year, second only to the 25-point losses suffered against Boston on 11/13 and Philly on 11/22.
Orlando's physicality is a difficult matchup for the Nets, but expect Fernandez to have his crew ready for another battle in the friendly confines of Barclays to put up a better showing.
