In the first half, it was a complete change of what happened in the last matchup between these teams as the Nets did the dominating instead of the Thunder. Cam Thomas finally made a field-goal for the first time in three games and he led the Nets in scoring with 16 points.
In the second half, Oklahoma City turned things around in a huge way as they started to shoot the ball better while playing much better defense on Brooklyn to get back in this one. The Thunder made things interesting in the fourth quarter as the Nets essentially collapsed, but had enough of a cushion to pull out the win.
