The Brooklyn Nets entered the Wells Fargo Center with determination but found themselves outpaced by a vigorous Philadelphia squad. Despite their efforts, the Nets were unable to secure a lead greater than three points and spent just over one minute and forty-four seconds ahead in the game. The team's efficiency rating stood at ninety compared to their opponent's higher mark of one hundred twenty-nine.


Offensively, Brooklyn struggled from beyond the arc, converting only twenty-six percent of their three-point attempts into nine successful shots. Their field goal percentage was also lower than desired at thirty-nine percent. However, they did manage to make seventy-six percent of their free throws and scored forty points inside the paint.

Defensively, both teams were evenly matched with six blocks each; however, it was on rebounds where the disparity became evident. The Nets gathered forty-seven rebounds—five less than their average—while allowing sixty-seven to Philadelphia. This included only four offensive rebounds for Brooklyn compared to thirteen for their opponents.


The bench contributed twenty-four points for Brooklyn but was overshadowed by Philadelphia's bench which doubled that output with forty-eight points. Furthermore, turnovers proved costly for both sides as they each gave up possession thirteen times leading directly to sixteen points off turnovers for Brooklyn and thirteen for Philadelphia.
