The Indiana Pacers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 115–110 on February 11 at Barclays Center in a contest that finished well below the Vegas total of 215.5 points. Jalen Walker led the Pacers with 23 points, while Myles Potter added 19 in a balanced offensive effort. Indiana shot 48.9 percent from the field and made 15 three-pointers, establishing a clear efficiency advantage over Brooklyn's 44.7 percent clip and 14 made threes. The decisive factor emerged in the second quarter, when the Pacers outscored the Nets 35–33 to seize control; Indiana's bench depth and ball movement—evidenced by 29 assists against 25 for Brooklyn—proved difficult to contain. Defensively, the Pacers clamped down with 11 steals and a 109.5 defensive rating while limiting turnovers to just 10, compared to Brooklyn's 16 miscues. Nets scorers N. Traore (20 points) and Z. Williams (19 points) could not generate enough offensive firepower to overcome Indiana's balanced attack. The win strengthens the Pacers' playoff positioning heading into the stretch run.
