Indiana choked away a double figure fourth quarter lead, falling in spectacular fashion to Brooklyn despite 27 from Paul George.
The Indiana Pacers paired one of their most efficient offensive outputs of the season with one of the least efficient defensive outputs. Not surprisingly, this allowed the Brooklyn Nets to stay alive throughout the night. The Pacers built comfortable leads in each quarter, but time and time again, the Nets closed the gap, eventually breaking the Pacers despite Indiana holding a 10-point fourth quarter lead.
That included an eight point first quarter lead that Brooklyn trimmed to three and a 14-point second quarter lead became just six at the half.
