Nets can’t keep ‘pace’ with Indiana
Brooklyn Players Booed Off Court Following Fifth Straight Defeat
It doesn’t take very much to beat the Brooklyn Nets these days.
In fact, one good quarter will likely do it.
Fighting for a playoff spot in the tightly packed Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers drove that point home Wednesday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center, using a dominant second period en route to an easy 114-100 victory over the moribund Nets in front of 13,311 fans, some of whom stuck around just to boo Brooklyn players off the court.
“We got ourselves into a hole and it’s tough to play from that position,” admitted Brook Lopez, who led the Nets with 21 points.
