The Brooklyn Nets secured a much-needed victory against the Indiana Pacers, winning 99-90 after a tough three-game stretch. The game featured a standout performance from Cam Johnson, who led all scorers with 26 points, while teammates Nic Claxton and Shake Milton contributed 31 points combined.
Despite missing several key players, the Nets showcased their depth, with backup Day'Ron Sharpe impressing with a three-pointer and an alley-oop assist to Ben Simmons. The Nets' defense effectively limited Pacers' star Tyrese Haliburton, allowing them to maintain a significant lead.
Late-game runs by Indiana threatened Brooklyn's advantage, but a strong response from Simmons and others secured the win. The Nets improved to 10-13 and will face the Milwaukee Bucks next.
