The Brooklyn Nets (3-2) topped the Orlando Magic (2-4) for the second time in three days, this time in Brooklyn, with an 82–74 win.

Forward Kris Humphries scored 14 points and grabbed a team-high 21 rebounds while center Brook Lopez led the team with 20 points.

The Nets who topped Orlando 107–68 Friday night in Orlando, looked to continue the rout with a first quarter run that netted them an 18-point lead.

Orlando slowly clawed back and were within five points late in the final quarter before Deron Williams hit a two-point jumper and then grabbed a rebound at the other end as the Nets staved off the rally. Williams finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds, and seven assists.

The Nets’ next game Tuesday against Cleveland at the Barclays Center.
