In the first half, Brooklyn did not have the best start to the game as it looked like the players were trying to figure out each other’s roles on the fly. By the end of the first half however, it looks like newcomers Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith settled in and played the roles they were expected to.
In the second half, Chicago made a bit of a comeback as LaVine started getting hot in the third quarter. However, Brooklyn pulled away in the fourth quarter thanks to clutch shots by Dinwiddie and awesome defense from the team as a unit.
