The Indiana Pacers ( 16 - 9 ) dealt the Brooklyn Nets ( 7 - 19 ) their fourth straight loss on Friday , winning 104 - 97 . Despite struggles from some of their starters , including star Paul George ( seven turnovers ) and guard Monta Ellis ( 1 - for - 8 shooting , two points ) , the Pacers were able to comfortably defeat Brooklyn for their fourth win in five games . Indiana 's strong showing can be attributed largely to their bench , as sixth man Rodney Stuckey racked up 15 points , while backup big man Jordan Hill recorded a 14 - point , 11 - rebound double - double . The win puts Indiana just one game behind the Cavaliers for the first seed in the Eastern Conference . While Brooklyn got off to a hot start in the month of December , they now face a four - game losing streak and remain the second - worst team in the Eastern Conference . Even in the face of the loss , Thaddeus Young 's surprising rebounding renaissance continued , with the power forward pulling down 14 boards , including six offensive . Young is averaging nine rebounds per game on the season , almost four more than his career average . Point guard Jarrett Jack also impressed , tallying 26 points to go with nine rebounds and six assists . The dominance of Indiana and comeback star Paul George has been one of the biggest surprises of the 2015 - 16 season . With the Pacers on a tear lately , they will carry strong momentum into their matchup in Memphis on Saturday . The Nets , meanwhile , continue to struggle . They will hope to capitalize on a manageable matchup against the aching Timberwolves on Sunday .
