The Good: The Indiana Pacers got the win, which is all that matters. It’s also good that every starter had a positive plus-minus tonight. Indiana’s bench production is what got Brooklyn Nets back into the game. Every bench player had a negative plus-minus. The Pacers have now won three straight road games, which has been their Achilles heel all season long.
The Bad: The Pacers had this one in the bag, but they let the Nets get back into it. Indiana legitimately could have walked out with a loss. It’s also not good that Thaddeus Young went down with a wrist injury to his shooting hand.
