Trendon Watford Scores Season-High 26 Points in Nets' Overtime Loss to Pacers

The Brooklyn Nets faced their third consecutive loss, falling 108-103 to the Indiana Pacers despite a strong performance from Trendon Watford, who scored a season-high 26 points. Watford's contributions included five rebounds and efficient shooting, as he showcased versatility by scoring both inside and from the three-point line. His performance comes amid D'Angelo Russell's ongoing absence due to ankle soreness, with the Nets struggling in his absence, holding a 14-32 record without him this season. Watford, who has averaged 16.3 points over his last four games, emphasized his commitment to staying on the court after being ejected in a previous matchup against the Pacers. The Nets will look to turn their fortunes around in upcoming home games against the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers. Despite the losses, Watford's recent play highlights his potential to become a key player for the Nets moving forward.
