Second Quarter
As the second quarter unfolded, the Nets continued to showcase their offensive prowess. They added another 36 points to their tally, thanks in part to Nic Claxton's impressive inside presence and Michael Porter Jr.'s versatile scoring ability. Claxton contributed significantly with his efficiency around the rim, while Porter Jr.'s shooting kept Hapoel's defense on its toes. By halftime, Brooklyn had extended its lead further.

The third quarter saw more of Brooklyn's dominance as they scored 31 points compared to Jerusalem’s 21. A pivotal moment came when Cam Thomas orchestrated a series of game-changing plays that widened the gap between both teams. His court vision and ability to find open teammates were instrumental during this period.
Fourth Quarter
In the final quarter, despite some resistance from Hapoel Jerusalem who managed another 22 points, it was too little too late as Brooklyn maintained control throughout. Ziaire Williams' defensive efforts were noteworthy as he recorded multiple steals that thwarted any comeback attempts by Jerusalem.
Overall, teamwork was key for Brooklyn as they amassed an impressive total of 31 assists compared to Hapoel’s 18—a testament to their cohesive playstyle which proved too much for their opponents.
