with 5 seconds remaining to tie the game at 112. After a
missed Jumper by Howard Magloire pulled in the rebound
and called a time out. Griffin inbounded the ball to Cater
who took 3 steps and fired with 0.8 seconds remaining. Carter
was fouled on the play by Francis and had to sink at least 1 of
the free throw attempts and then hope for the Magic to miss.
Carter lined up and hit the 1st one and then the 2nd one, Orlando called
a time out and Francis got the ball and launched it from 28 foot out only to
have it rim out and give the Nets a 4th Qrt comeback.
