In the first quarter, the Nets took a lead, but the Spurs never let them get too far ahead. That continued into halftime, where Brooklyn had a one-point lead going into the locker room.

However, the Spurs and Nets continued to trade jabs throughout the second half. In the fourth quarter, it appeared the Nets would pull away after building a 10-point lead, but the Spurs rallied to force overtime.
