Jarrett Jack and Joe Johnson tallied 16 points apiece for the Nets, who were 27-of-39 from the line. Mirza Teletovic and Brook Lopez chipped in 11 points apiece off the bench while Kevin Garnett added 10, eight rebounds and a season high-tying four steals.

Plumlee scored six points in an 11-0 burst that ended the first half and gave Brooklyn a 57-44 lead. Garnett finished an alley-oop on the break in the waning seconds of the third quarter to keep the margin at 13 points and then opened the scoring in the fourth with a jumper for an 84-69 advantage.

The Kings responded with seven straight points before the Nets did the same, opening up a 91-76 lead on Johnson's 3-pointer with 8:28 left. Sacramento had another run to get within five points with just over five minutes remaining, but Teletovic hit back-to-back 3s and Plumlee had a pair of dunks for a 103-92 advantage with under three minutes to go.
