On defense, Sacramento managed to block four shots and steal seven times from Brooklyn Nets players. Their defensive efforts limited Brooklyn to shooting just under half as effectively as them at only a rate of around one point per possession.


Brooklyn Nets' Struggle


The Brooklyn Nets struggled to find their rhythm throughout most parts of the game. Despite having nine steals which is two more than what Sacramento managed, they couldn't capitalize on these opportunities efficiently enough to close down on their opponents' lead. The team shot only at a rate of around one point per possession offensively which wasn't enough against a high-scoring team like Sacramento.
