It was a successful debut for Kyrie Irving ... and a win the Nets needed.
Brooklyn came all the way back from 19 points down to defeat the Pacers, 129-121 in Indiana. With the win, the Nets have snapped their season-high three-game losing skid and improved to 24-12 on the season and a league best 14-3 on the road.
It was ugly early but the Nets tightened their defense in the second half and slowly pulled away. Brooklyn took their first lead (107-106) at the 7:23 mark of the fourth off a Patty Mills three and didn’t look back.
