NEWARK, N.J., March 11 (UPI) -- Jordan Farmar and Brook Lopez both had four points in overtime Friday, lifting the New Jersey Nets to a 102-98 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Nets have captured four in a row, their longest winning streak in more than 2 years, and they had to rally from a 20-point deficit in the second quarter to pull off the feat.

Farmar and Lopez both scored 24 points and they produced all the New Jersey scoring in overtime. Kris Humphries added 19 points for the Nets and pulled down a career-best 20 rebounds.

New Jersey last won four in a row from Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2009.

Los Angeles had a four-game winning streak snapped. It had been the Clippers' longest of the season.

Blake Griffin and Chris Kaman both had 23 points for Los Angeles, which let a six-point lead slip away during the final 3:30 of the fourth period.
