Ben Saraf supplied the control and defensive disruption, while Danny Wolf added a second scoring threat as Brooklyn overwhelmed Sacramento 115–83 in the NBA Summer League. Both Israelis reached double figures: Saraf finished with 11 points, five assists and four steals, and Wolf scored 14. It was a victory built far more on possession pressure than on late-shot making.
Brooklyn established the terms immediately, opening with a 38–18 first quarter that put Sacramento into a 20-point deficit before either rotation had settled. The Nets carried a 56–34 advantage into half-time, and Sacramento never cut the margin back to single figures after that opening period. Brooklyn won the second half 59–49 as well, finishing with a 32-point cushion and avoiding the loose final-quarter basketball that can distort Summer League results.
Saraf's line was particularly efficient for a primary ball-handler. In 20 minutes and 30 seconds he made three of four field-goal attempts, converted his only three-pointer and both free throws, and recorded five assists against a single turnover. His four steals helped him finish at plus-26, the best indicator in Brooklyn's starting group of how decisively his minutes tilted the game.
The value was not simply the 11 points; it was the combination of low-risk creation and pressure applied at the point of attack.
Wolf started at centre and scored his 14 points in 19 minutes and 47 seconds, adding two rebounds, one assist and one steal against a single turnover to finish at plus-19. The modest rebounding total matters when assessing the full performance, but so does his ability to score in a game where Brooklyn did not need to funnel its offence through one interior option.
The team numbers explain the margin. Brooklyn shot 52.7 per cent from the field and produced 25 assists, evidence that the early lead did not depend on a single scorer. More damaging for Sacramento was Brooklyn's 21 steals; the Kings committed 28 turnovers, continually gifting the Nets transition possessions and early-clock opportunities before their half-court defence could get organised.
ONE highlighted the double-figure returns from Saraf and Wolf, and the official NBA box score independently confirms both the result and the individual totals. That distinction matters in Summer League, where evaluation should focus on repeatable decisions rather than a headline scoring number. Saraf's five-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio and four steals offer a clearer developmental signal than volume alone, while Wolf's controlled scoring came without an accompanying turnover problem.
Summer League remains an evaluation environment rather than a direct forecast of NBA rotation minutes — line-ups are temporary, defensive schemes are installed quickly, and opponents are testing players in unfamiliar roles. Even with that caveat, Brooklyn's possession profile was authoritative: efficient shooting, 25 assisted baskets, 21 steals and only 19 turnovers of its own.
The Nets moved to 2–1, while Sacramento fell to 1–2, with the two Israeli prospects giving Brooklyn complementary production on both sides of the ball.
