Nikola Topic ignited a second-quarter run with a fastbreak layup, helping the Thunder overcome a 23-21 first-quarter deficit. Coach Mark Daigneault was ejected after arguing a non-reviewed foul call, but his emotional outburst fueled a 17-3 run that put the game away.
OKC held Brooklyn scoreless for nearly four minutes in the second frame before Day'Ron Sharpe ended the drought. The short-handed champs pulled away in the third, led by transition buckets from Egor Demin and Danny Wolf, securing the 105-86 victory.
