Recap: Nets Lose Third Straight

The Nets were coming off a game where they just got dismantled by Kevin Durant and the OKC Thunder.

Then they had to travel to Indiana to face a team with only two home losses this season.

This game was pretty much wire to wire throughout.

Pacers were looking for a season series sweep of the Nets, which is what the Nets did to Indiana last season.

They didn't have any luck at all against them this season as Brooklyn goes 0-4 against the Pacers this season.

Shaun Livingston had himself a game with 24 points on 10/18 shooting. He's been playing well of late.

Nets had a chance to tie it with a 3 with 6 secs left down 96-93 but Pierce took a tough corner three where he was covered well by Stephenson.

Deron Williams then made a pointless three after West went 1/2 from the line.

Pacers win it by one, 97-96.

Nets are now 20-25 after being just two games under .500 the Nets have lost three consecutive games.

Deron returned to the starting lineup tonight and didn't fare well at all. He has to step it up a little bit. Or a lot of bit.
