Brooklyn started to pull away late into the third quarter and built up a double digit lead.


Things got tricky in the fourth, as the Nets turned the ball over six times in the fourth. With .10 seconds left in the game, the Nets defense did a good job with cutting off the Bucks shooters and forced them to take a bad shot to escape with a 125-123 victory.
