The Brooklyn Nets faced a tough challenge against the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing 105-100 after a hard-fought match. Despite a strong start from the Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell, the Nets managed to keep the game close, even taking a lead in the third quarter.

However, they couldn't maintain their momentum, allowing the Cavaliers to rally back in the fourth. The absence of Ben Simmons was felt, as the Nets struggled to contain Cleveland's offensive prowess, particularly from Evan Mobley.
