Pacers final score: Nets obliterate Pacers 104-94

Butler/NBAE via Getty ImagesAgainst the 27th ranked defense of the Brooklyn Nets, the Indiana Pacers were completely befuddled, throwing out not only the worst first half of the season, but one of the worst halves in recent Pacers memory. The Pacers scored 30 first half points, shooting 25.6% and that’s being kind.
The Indiana offense was a complete mess for the entire first half. The Brooklyn defense completely removed any semblance of offensive rhythm for the Pacers, forcing them not only into bad shots, but multiple shot clock violations. When Domantas Sabonis wasn’t able to attack DeAndre Jordan early, that seemed to throw the entire game plan out of the window.
