Brooklyn did not score more than 20 points in any quarter, and the first quarter, which ended with 38-20 for the home team, showed that New York was preparing for a convincing celebration. The complete rift between these two teams happened in the last quarter when New York beat the opponent 32-10.
Although he hit only one of eight three-pointers, New York’s leading scorer was Jalen Brunson with 20 points, to which he added five assists and four rebounds. That’s why all six three-pointers were hit by Landry Shamet, who scored 18 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 14 points with eight rebounds.
On the other side, Michael Porter Jr. was the best. with 12 points and six rebounds.
The visitors had a total shot, as well as the one for three points, under 30 percent.
This 54-point victory is not the most convincing this season in the NBA, as Charlotte beat Utah by 55 points in early January. The last time Brooklyn scored such a low number of points, exactly 66, was eleven years ago.
