Indiana Pacers Set Sights on Taming the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center
As the Indiana Pacers prepare to face off against the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Pacers have been showcasing their offensive prowess, coming off a strong performance with 123 points against the Golden State Warriors and an even more impressive 122 points versus the Detroit Pistons.
The team's scoring efficiency has been notable, with field goal percentages of 48 and 57 percent in their last two games respectively. Their three-point shooting has also been reliable, hitting at rates of 42 and 38 percent. Defensively, they've managed to keep opponents' scoring under control, maintaining defensive ratings below their offensive output.
