Nets 89, Pacers 84 (OT): Brook Lopez scored 25 points and Joe Johnson hit a clutch shot to force overtime as visiting Brooklyn escaped with a win over Indiana.
Johnson scored 17 points and Tyshawn Taylor had four of his 12 in the extra session for the Nets, who improved to 4-0 in overtime games this season. Reggie Evans collected 22 rebounds as Brooklyn recovered from a 25-point home loss to San Antonio less than 24 hours earlier.
George Hill led the Pacers with 22 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Leading scorers Paul George and David West combined for just 12 on 3-for-21 shooting, West missing most of the first half with a scratched eye.
Hill gave Indiana a 76-72 lead with 1:38 left in regulation, but the Pacers would go the remainder of regulation without scoring. Evans and Taylor hit a free throw apiece before Johnson buried a 10-footer with 13 seconds left, and West missed at the buzzer.
Taylor had back-to-back baskets early in OT to give Brooklyn the lead for good. Gerald Wallace nailed a 3-pointer to make it 83-79 with 1:54 left and Johnson hit four late free throws to ice it.
GAME NOTEBOOK: West departed exactly one minute into the game and did not return until the beginning of the second half. ... Wallace had 11 points and 11 rebounds. ... Jeff Pendergraph picked up the slack for West, coming off the bench to record season highs of 14 points and 10 rebounds.
