It was another impressive showing for the Indiana Pacers, picking up their second straight win in a victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Surprisingly, those words are true. Also true is that the Pacers got there by making a franchise record 23 three pointers, led by big nights from Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton, but that last part is believable.
The Pacers shot 50% from deep for the second straight game, taking full advantage of Brooklyn’s 29th ranked defense, if not on the first shot, then maybe on the second or third. Indiana had 17 offensive rebounds, leading to 14 second chance points and outran the Nets 19-9 in transition for good measure.
