The Brooklyn Nets faced another tough challenge on the road, ending their West Coast swing with a 127-101 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who sit atop the Western Conference. The game started poorly for the Nets, who were overwhelmed early, falling behind 13-2 after just a few minutes. Brooklyn shot an abysmal 0-for-7 from the field at the beginning and struggled throughout the first quarter, trailing 39-19.

In a commendable effort, the Nets matched the Thunder’s scoring in the second quarter, but Oklahoma City’s offensive prowess, led by MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 27 points, proved too much. The Nets continued to struggle with their shooting and turnovers, leading to a disappointing end to their road trip with a record of 14-29.
