Porter finished with 26 points and seven rebounds, scoring the go-ahead basket in the final seconds, while Noah Clowney added 23. Brooklyn's reserves outscored Chicago's bench 48-41, led by Day'Ron Sharpe's 14 points, six rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes."

Despite hitting just 40% from the field in the first quarter, eight different Nets scored in the opening 12 minutes, with Porter leading the way with five points. Chicago leaned heavily on Nikola Vucevic early, as the veteran center scored eight points in the period."
