NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Joe Johnson finished off a heroic night Friday by hitting a jumper at the end of the second overtime period, giving Brooklyn a 107-105 victory over Detroit.

The Nets overcame a six-point deficit in the closing 90 seconds of regulation and Johnson then made a jump shot with 18 seconds to go in the first overtime to forge a 100-100 tie.
