The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Indiana Pacers, 103 - 94, at Barclays Center on Friday. The two teams engaged in a true see - saw battle, with each club dominating in alternate quarters. It was the Nets (1 - 1) who got hot at the right time, however, as they outscored the Pacers (1 - 1) by a margin of 31 - 15 in the final period. After coming into the regular season with serious concerns about potential sources of offense beyond Jeremy Lin and Brook Lopez, Brooklyn had surprised in the opener against the Celtics on Wednesday by tallying 117 points despite the latter only totaling seven points on the night. The box score Friday more closely resembled what had been expected in the preseason, as the pair paced the Nets on offense, with only two other teammates reaching double digits in the scoring column. Indiana had a more balanced attack overall, which was led by Paul George's 22 points. He added nine rebounds, two assists and two steals, but only managed an 8 - for - 22 tally from the field. Thaddeus Young turned in a solid outing against his old teammates, posting 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. Myles Turner supplied a solid encore to his standout opening night performance, posting a 13 - point, 11 - rebound double - double that also included three rejections. Monta Ellis was the fourth member of the starting five to reach double - digit scoring, managing 11 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals. Lopez's 25 points paced the Nets, and he supplemented the game - high scoring total with five rebounds, an assist and a steal. Lin came within a shade of a triple - double, totaling 21 points, nine rebounds, nine assists and a block. Trevor Booker registered 10 points, 11 boards, two assists and a steal. Bojan Bogdanovic and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson could only muster a combined six points on 2 - for - 11 shooting, but Sean Kilpatrick helped make up for the shortfall with 18 points to lead the reserves. Both teams return to action Saturday night, with the Pacers taking on the Bulls in Chicago and Brooklyn facing off with the Bucks in Milwaukee.
