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.

The Nets lost to the Pacers 113-99 and while the losing margin would indicate a blowout, the way Brooklyn played would prove that the team continued to battle despite being down by as many as 24 points in the contest.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 23 points, Bennedict Mathurin added 20 and the Indiana Pacers beat the Nets 113-99 on Monday night.
