A month ago, the Nets built a huge lead against Indiana and cruised to victory.<\/p>\n
How things change.<\/p>\n
Between trades and injuries, this was a different-looking Nets team. The end result was different as well, the Nets digging a huge hole and falling 113-99 to the Pacers before a crowd of 16,088 at Barclays Center.<\/p>\n
The Nets (13-23) have dropped five of their past six and 10 of 13. They have the seventh-worst record in the NBA, a half-game better than the Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n
Point guard Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 23 points and eight assists.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery, very good offensive team, starting with the head of snake in Haliburton, controls the game, a lot of touches, a lot of passes, plays pick-and-roll, distributes the ball,\u201d coach Jordi Fernandez said. \u201cHe creates 3s out of pick-and-roll. But also they\u2019re good in the paint with their drives. So, it\u2019s going to present a challenge. But you know, we believe that if we take care of the things we\u2019re prepared for, we\u2019ll be there to fight the game, and we\u2019ll have a chance to win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The shorthanded Nets, who trailed by as much as 24 before staging a rally that came up short, never had a chance to win this game. <\/p>\n
They were without eight injured players, including point guards D\u2019Angelo Russell and Ben Simmons, and scorers Cam Thomas and Cam Johnson. They had a staggering $103 million in salary sitting out injured, the most in the league per HoopsHype. And it looked like it.<\/p>\n
Just a month ago, the Nets had built a 21-point lead on the Pacers and cruised to a 99-90 victory. But the Pacers have gone 10-4 since then. The tanking Nets \u2014 in sell-off mode \u2014 have gone in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
Bereft of passing and playmaking, the Nets\u2019 offense looked as disjointed as expected. They shot just 41.8 percent from the field and 30.3 percent (10 of 33) from 3-point range. It was ugly but hardly unexpected.<\/p>\n
When bull-in-a-china-shop center Day\u2019Ron Sharpe is their best playmaker with a career-high five assists, offense will be hard to come by. He also finished with team highs of 16 points and 13 rebounds, but the threadbare Nets were outclassed.<\/p>\n
While Johnson is on the market and there are reports linking him to these same Pacers \u2014 for a potential package featuring Obi Toppin (11 points), Aaron Nesmith (DNP, left ankle sprain), at least one unprotected first-round pick and other draft assets \u2014 a source told The Post that is \u201call noise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nets trailed 55-39 at the break. Their season-low total for a half was worse than the 41 they\u2019d scored on Dec. 27 against San Antonio.<\/p>\n
Credit to their hustle and grit: The Nets crashed the boards like their lives depended on it. But their only offense was missing and hoping for putbacks. The Nets outscored Indiana 33-8 on second-chance points, posting a season-high before the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Sharpe single-handedly beat the Pacers, nine to five, on the offensive glass. His offensive rebound to a cutting Tosan Evbuomwan pulled the Nets within 78-70 at the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n
But they never got over the hump in the fourth and fell back behind by double digits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
