Watch Reggie Jackson rip the heart out of the Nets in crunch time

The end of the game is Reggie Jackson time. It's fitting that the latest evidence happened in Brooklyn, home to one-time vanity partial owner Jay-Z because this was a Takeover.

And to paraphrase Mr. Carter, The Nets were bringing a knife to a gunfight.

The Nets were up three with 2:15 to go when Jackson imposed his will. He scored the tying basket on a cold-blooded 3-pointer, the go-ahead basket on a nice dish to Andre Drummond under the basket, the stay-ahead basket on an off-balance, 15-foot, one-handed runner and the turn the lights out basket on a slick crossover that led to an improbable floater.

To paraphrase Nas, who penned one of the all-time great response tracks with Ether, Jackson's statement was loud and clear: I. Will. Not. Lose.
