In a thrilling overtime showdown, the Indiana Pacers edged out the Brooklyn Nets 105-99 on Thursday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Bennedict Mathurin delivered a standout performance, notching 28 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. His clutch free throws with 14 seconds left in regulation tied the game at 91, paving the way for overtime heroics. Myles Turner made an impact with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and a pivotal block in overtime that sealed the victory.
The game wasn't without its heated moments. A fourth-quarter altercation led to the ejection of Brooklyn's Trendon Watford and fines for multiple players, underscoring the intensity of the matchup. Turner and Watford were hit with fines of $35,000, while Nembhard was charged $20,000.
As the stats show, the game was not pretty basketball. Let's hope that remains true tonight for the visitors, while the Pacers have a serious glow-up.

So Cam Johnson will return after not playing in round 1, but Russell and possibly Williams out. https://t.co/AyZeCnFBRE
