The Brooklyn Nets watched a potential statement win slip away in dramatic fashion when the Orlando Magic hit a buzzer-beater in overtime, handing the visitors a crushing defeat on Jan. 7, 2026.
Guard Egor Demin had delivered a series of clutch plays down the stretch, including a pivotal basket in the final seconds of regulation that pushed the contest into the extra period. His late surge kept Brooklyn alive and briefly swung momentum in the Nets’ favor.
Overtime unfolded as a tightly contested battle, but the game tilted back to Orlando on the final possession. With the clock winding down, the Magic converted a last-second shot that dropped through the net as time expired, sealing the heartbreaking loss for Brooklyn.
Demin’s efforts ultimately went unrewarded, and the Nets left the floor empty-handed despite his standout performance in the closing minutes.
