The Brooklyn Nets (23-47) were hoping to get past a loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday in which Brooklyn was in position to win if it wasn't for the supporting players going off in the end. With Brooklyn going against the Indiana Pacers (40-29) for the first of two straight games on Thursday, the Nets had a chance to steal a win over an Indiana team missing Tyrese Haliburton.
Unfortunately, the Nets lost to the Pacers 105-99 in overtime as Brooklyn did not take advantage of an 11-point lead that they built in the first half as they couldn't sustain their play for 48 minutes.
