The Nets rested every key rotation player — with the exception of Yuta Watanabe and Edmond Sumner — in the second game of back to back against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
Against a mostly healthy Indiana team, the Nets were significant underdogs.
But Brooklyn’s second and third units stole a 136-133 victory over a healthy, surging Pacers team at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Saturday. The Nets continue to march up the Eastern Conference standings. They have won 10 of their last 13 games and rank fourth in the East behind only Boston, Milwaukee and Cleveland.
