- The 45-point win matched Brooklyn's largest ever, tying a Jan. 9, 1993 rout of Washington.
- Rookie Egor Demin scored a team-high 17 as nine Nets reached double figures, with Noah Clowney adding 16 and Michael Porter Jr. held to 12.
- Brooklyn's depth shined with 60 bench points while the team shot 52.9%, hit 19 threes, logged 33 assists and 14 steals, and never trailed.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the game with a right calf strain; Jordi Fernández was sidelined by the flu as Steve Hetzel notched his first win as acting head coach, and Nets rookie Ben Saraf was out due to illness.
- Milwaukee shot 39% with 20 turnovers and went 8-for-35 from three, and outlets listed the Bucks' record without Antetokounmpo as either 2-7 or 2-8.
