Pacers-Nets Game Disrupted by Massive Bench-Clearing Brawl

The Indiana Pacers secured a dramatic 105-99 overtime victory against the Brooklyn Nets, but the game was overshadowed by a significant brawl that erupted in the fourth quarter. The altercation began when Nets forward Trendon Watford collided with Pacers' Andrew Nembhard, prompting Pacers center Myles Turner to intervene. As tensions escalated, both teams' benches cleared, resulting in Watford's ejection, while Nembhard and Turner received technical fouls. This incident marked the second in-game tussle for the Pacers this week, following a previous conflict with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite the chaotic circumstances, the Pacers improved their record to 40-29, solidifying their position in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Nets, on the other hand, continued to struggle, falling to a 23-47 record.
