Jalen Wilson's 3-pointer capped an 8-0 run that gave Brooklyn a 91-83 lead early in the fourth quarter. Utah cut the deficit to a basket on a dunk from Cody Williams. Demin and Wolf combined for three 3-pointers to stop the comeback attempt and put the Nets up 100-90 with 4:45 left.

The Nets built a 52-38 lead behind a 22-7 run. Thomas ignited the surge with five baskets and four free throws, while Terance Mann and Nic Claxton finished it off with back-to-back baskets.
Utah cut the double-digit deficit to a basket by halftime. The Jazz ended the second quarter on a 14-2 run to make it 54-52 at halftime. George bookended the run with a pair of baskets.
Bailey drove for a layup to tie it at 54-54 a minute into the third quarter. Utah tied the score four times during the quarter, the final time on a 3-pointer from Bailey, but could not take a lead.
