Brooklyn led the host Blazers by 10 with 6:07 remaining and were still up one with 5.9 seconds left when Seth Curry stole the ball from D’Angelo Russell and was fouled. Curry made one of the two free throws to force overtime.

It was Russell who tied it up for the Nets at the end of the second overtime, getting to the rim for an uncontested layup with 8.8 seconds to go. But Portland went up by as much as seven in the second overtime and iced it on a pair of Damian Lillard free throws with 8.7 seconds to go.

Russell had 39 points and eight assists for Brooklyn, while Spencer Dinwiddie scored 22 points off the bench. Ed Davis grabbed 14 rebounds, Caris LeVert had 16 points and seven assists and Jared Dudley went for 15 points and two blocks.

Brooklyn also owns the biggest blowout between the teams, a 130-94 victory at Barclays Center on Dec. 16, 2013.
