Pacers Edge Nets 105-99 in Overtime Thriller

The Brooklyn Nets faced a tough challenge against the Indiana Pacers, losing 108-103 in a close game after a late rally fell short. Despite trailing by 20 points in the fourth quarter, the Nets mounted a comeback, highlighted by Trendon Watford's performance of 26 points. Coach Jordi Fernández expressed pride in the team's effort despite the loss, while the Nets continued to struggle, now having lost nine straight road games. The Pacers, led by Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin, capitalized on their early lead and maintained composure in clutch moments. The teams had previously met just days earlier, where the Pacers won in overtime, and Brooklyn's free-fall continues, now with 12 losses in their last 14 games. With key players like D'Angelo Russell and Ziaire Williams sidelined, the Nets look to regroup in their upcoming games against the Raptors and Clippers.
