Brooklyn’s backcourt duo, Cam Thomas and Shake Milton, took over in the third quarter, combining for 33 points and fueling the team’s offensive explosion. The Nets’ depth was also on full display, as players like Noah Clowney and Cui Yongxi added valuable contributions, showcasing the team’s ability to score from all areas of the floor.
While the Wizards struggled with missed shots and turnovers, the Nets capitalized on every opportunity, keeping their foot on the gas and outscoring Washington in every quarter. By the time the final buzzer sounded, every Brooklyn player except Amari Bailey had scored, capping off a team-wide effort.
