Nikola Topic delivered a highlight-reel fastbreak layup as the Thunder rallied from a slow start. Coach Daigneault was handed a rare technical foul for arguing a non-call, but his team responded with a 17-3 run in the second quarter. Brooklyn struggled offensively, making just one basket early in the period, while Egor Demin and Danny Wolf added highlight dunks later in the game. A brief third-quarter run was eventually quelled as OKC maintained control, securing the 105-86 victory.
