In a much-needed victory, the Brooklyn Nets overcame their five-game losing streak by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 132-114, marking their highest score in a regulation game this season. Cam Johnson shined with 24 points, leading the team despite Scoot Henderson's impressive 39 points for Portland. The Nets displayed a strong start, with Ben Simmons pushing the tempo and creating opportunities for three-point shooting.

Both teams traded baskets early on, with Brooklyn tying their season-high 40-point first quarter. Despite Henderson’s efforts, the Blazers struggled to keep pace.
