"For a moment, it looked like the Nets had pulled off something improbable. Egor Dëmin had just drilled his fifth 3-pointer of the night, a contested, off-balance bomb over Wendell Carter Jr. to put Brooklyn ahead late in overtime. Barclays Center was buzzing. Michael Porter Jr. had carried the Nets all night. The comeback was complete. Or so it seemed."
"Paolo Banchero answered with the final blow, burying a contested trey over Porter through contact to steal a 104-103 overtime win for the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. The loss dropped Brooklyn to 11-23 and wasted one of Porter's biggest nights as a Net. Porter finished with 34 points and tied a career-high with eight 3-pointers, but meaningful help didn't arrive until the game was already hanging by a thread. Dëmin scored all 10 of Brooklyn's points in overtime, finishing with 18 in 32 minutes."

Banchero finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, including the decisive shot. Brooklyn opened with a reshuffled starting lineup that featured Nic Claxton coming off the bench in his return, and early play saw heavy bench usage and poor shooting.
