The Pacers had a 20 -point lead going into the fourth quarter against the Nets.

The Pacers scored just two points in the first 7:47 of the last seven minutes on 1 of 10 shooting.

Tyrese Haliburton was back in the lineup after three games without him due to a sore lower back.

"We seem to not be able to have normal basketball games as of late," the All-Star point guard says.

The Pacers built a nine -point lead with 16 seconds left and managed to give up a a 3 -point play, commit a turnover and then give up another 3 -pointer in the next eight seconds to allow the Nets to cut the deficit from 104 -101 to 105 -103.

The Pacers have played in 32 games this season that the NBA counts as "clutch" meaning the margin was within five points in the final five minutes of the game or in overtime.
