Second Quarter

Nolan Traore contributed offensively with a commendable performance from beyond the arc but was offset by his six turnovers. Meanwhile, Noah Clowney provided some spark off the bench with his scoring and rebounding efforts.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw both teams slow down slightly in scoring; however, Miami maintained control by outscoring Brooklyn again with a score of 22-21 for this period. Michael Porter Jr.'s attempts to rally were hindered by low shooting percentages despite his hustle on defense and playmaking abilities.
