First Quarter


The opening quarter saw the Suns take an early lead, outscoring the Nets 34-23. The Valley's fast-paced offense was evident as they capitalized on quick transitions and effective shooting.

Third Quarter


The third quarter was a high-scoring affair for both teams, but it was here that Cam Thomas made his presence felt for Brooklyn. His ability to drive into the paint and draw fouls proved vital as he added key points from free throws. The Suns maintained their offensive pressure but struggled against Brooklyn's improved defensive setup.


Fourth Quarter


Entering the final quarter trailing by a slim margin, Brooklyn displayed resilience and tactical acumen by executing plays effectively under pressure. Danny Wolf’s sharp shooting from beyond the arc played a pivotal role in turning things around for them during critical moments of play.


As time wound down, it became clear that turnovers would be decisive in determining which team would emerge victorious; ultimately favoring Brooklyn who managed fewer turnovers compared to Phoenix’s total of 14 throughout this intense matchup.
