The Nets defeated the Indiana Pacers in Barclays Center on Saturday night, defeating them 125-116 defeat and going 1-5 for the season. At one point in the first quarter, forward Watanabe did not do enough to support his team's efforts. When Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard went to shoot, the home team was leading 25-20. Nembhard couldn't quite make the shot, but the ball ricocheted off the basket's edge and into the backboard. The Nets' man who humbly dunked the revival into the net is still the best in the world.
