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.
They had a staggering $103 million in salary sitting out injured, the most in the league per HoopsHype. And it looked like it.
Bereft of passing and playmaking, the Nets' offense looked as disjointed as expected. They shot just 41.8 percent from the field and 30.3 percent from 3-point range.
The Pacers have gone 10-4 since then. The tanking Nets - in sell-off mode - have gone in the opposite direction.
