Brooklyn finally ended their five-game losing streak with a big win against one of the NBA’s best teams.The Nets played one of their best games during the 2023/24 season in a victory over Oklahoma City Thunder 124-115. Brooklyn’s first half carried them to a win as they played Jacque Vaughn’s preferred fast-paced style.
The home team ended the first half with a 75-47 advantage, the highest-scoring half for the Nets this season. The first-half performance was fantastic from almost every player on the roster, but Nic Claxton stood out among the rest with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
“At the end of the day, these guys want to win and you want to be rewarded for your work. I was really trying to strike a balance with this group of coaching them and letting them know there are mistakes we’ve been making that we could cover up for,” Coach Vaughn said after the big win. “Last time we played against this group, we did some really good things well but the transition defense was not very good, this time we were able to at least contain them.”
A massive performance from the Nets
Cameron Thomas broke his slump by scoring 19 points, with 16 coming in the first half. Spencer Dinwiddie also had a bounceback game, leading the Nets in scoring with 23 points, just like Clax.
