Orlando shot 50 percent in the first half to keep it close, and Brooklyn needed back-to-back buckets from Johnson in the final minute of the half to take a 46-42 lead into the break.

A 10-2 burst to begin the third quarter finally give Brooklyn a cushion and the Nets pushed it to 73-56 entering the fourth quarter. The lead was as large as 21 when Teletovic's 3-pointer made it 97-76 with 4:39 remaining and the Nets coasted from there.
