ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Franz Wagner scored 25 points, Tristan da Silva added 22 points and nine rebounds and the Orlando Magic held Brooklyn scoreless over the final two-and-a-half minutes for a 105-98 victory over the Nets on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The win was Orlando’s second in NBA Cup Group play and dropped Brooklyn to 0-2.<\/p>\n
Michael Porter Jr. had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who led 98-94 after a basket by Nic Claxton with 2:37 remaining. But, Wagner hit two 3-pointers, da Silva made one and Brooklyn never scored again.<\/p>\n
Desmond Bane scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter for Orlando and Jalen Suggs finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists.<\/p>\n
Ziaire Williams had 15 points and a steal late in the fourth quarter \u2014 off Orlando’s 19th turnover \u2014 that put the Nets up 96-92. Noah Clowney had 12 points before fouling out with 1:58 remaining.<\/p>\n
Da Silva got his first start of the season in place of Paolo Banchero, who is out with a strained left groin.<\/p>\n
The Nets had a 53-37 lead midway through the second quarter, helped by 3-pointers, 59% overall shooting and 10 Magic turnovers. Three-pointers by da Silva and Bane, and Goga Bitadze’s block of an attempted dunk by Terrance Mann, turned the game around quickly. Orlando outscored the Nets 25-5 over the next eight minutes and led by as many as seven in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
After making six of their first 11 3-point shots, the Nets made only four of 29 and lost for the 11th time in 12 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla.
