They were a bright spot for the Magic, shooting a combined 12-for-22 from the field. However, their individual efforts weren’t quite enough to overcome the team’s overall shooting challenges.

In a tightly contested game like this, those small percentage differences can determine the winner. The Nets’ ability to make key shots at critical moments, especially from players like Wolf and Denim, proved to be the deciding factor in this Las Vegas showdown.
