The Brooklyn Nets and the Orlando Magic will lock horns at the Amway Center for an NBA regular-season game on Tuesday, March 15. In three meetings between the two teams this season, the Nets have a 2-1 record and will head to Orlando in search of a win to bag the regular-season series.
Brooklyn come into this game high on confidence after their win over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Kevin Durant scored 53 points on 51.4% shooting from the field. Andre Drummond also added 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 26 minutes for the Nets. Julius Randle, Evan Fournier, and RJ Barrett combined for 75 points, but it wasn't enough to prevent a 110-107 loss for the Knicks.
The Orlando Magic, on the other hand, suffered a tough loss in overtime against the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid scored 35 points for the visitors to give them the edge in the game.
For the Magic, it was Wendell Carter Jr. who stepped up as he scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to keep the Magic in the game. Despite the Magic's best efforts, they were unable to bag a win during regulation time.
During the overtime period, Cole Anthony made big shots, but in the end, all of that went in vain as the 76ers walked out of the Amway Center with a 116-114 win in overtime.
