The starting lineup for both teams remained unchanged, with the Brooklyn Nets sending out Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown.
The Hornets sent out Kendall Gill, Glenn Rice, Scott Burrell, Larry Johnson, and Matt Geiger as their starting lineup.
After the game began, the Hornets clearly had the upper hand. Compared to the previous matchup, the Hornets were taking things more seriously and had improved their tactical cooperation.
But the Brooklyn Nets were playing with energy and flair. Butch Baird was very dedicated in motivating the players before the game started, and his every word reflected his desire to win.
