Brooklyn trailed nearly all of the first quarter before surging ahead in the second. The Nets built a 52-38 lead behind a 22-7 run. Thomas ignited the run 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.
