Brooklyn holds a narrow 43-40 lead after two tightly contested quarters in Indiana.
Brooklyn edged ahead 20-19 in the first quarter, then stretched its advantage with a 23-21 second to take a 43-40 halftime lead. Michael Porter Jr. has 13 points and six rebounds for the Nets, while Moritz Wagner has added 10 points on a perfect 4-for-4 from the field. Pascal Siakam matches Porter with 13 points for Indiana, but the Pacers trail by three at the break. After halftime, watch whether Indiana can find a way to swing the slim margin—and whether Brooklyn’s efficient scoring from Wagner continues.
