The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 119-116, on Tuesday at Orlando.

The Bucks (54-14) were massive favorites ahead of this contest against the Nets (32-35), but Milwaukee couldn't close things out -- just like it happened them Sunday against the Houston Rockets -- and now they have gone 1-2 in their three games in Orlando. Meanwhile, the Nets have gone 2-1 and are getting closer to clinch a spot in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. In a game that had 10 ties, 10 lead changes and smaller advantages for either side -- Brooklyn led by as much as 11, while the Bucks' biggest lead was seven points -- the execution down the stretch was going to be the difference. The Nets performed better in the final minutes, and that allowed them to pull the upset against one of the best teams in The Association this season. Brooklyn led for most of the game, though, and survived a late comeback attempt from Milwaukee.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot delivered 26 points and three rebounds while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
