Theorem alert: Pacers take a double-figure lead at Brooklyn. Awfully bold strategy, tempting fate like that. – 7:58 PM

Three straight turnovers for James Harden, who has at least 4 in the first quarter alone. Not ideal. – 7:56 PM

The lack of burst James Harden has off the dribble at this point is, frankly, stunning – 7:55 PM

Back-to-back turnovers for James Harden give the Pacers a 19-10 lead here in the 1st quarter. Kevin Durant assumes ballhandling duties the following possession. – 7:54 PM

Talked with Nets owner Joe Tsai today about Kyrie Irving among many things. “I hope that Kyrie can be part of the team, part of Brooklyn long term. But… I think we have an immediate question of whether he can play this season. And I hope he gets vaccinated as soon as possible.” pic.twitter.com/UvnFXig2lk – 7:53 PM

Nets trail the Pacers 13-10 with 6:37 left in the first quarter. James Harden just hit the Nets first 3, after Brooklyn missed three clean looks. – 7:51 PM

Good timeout by Rick Carlisle: Bad shots, like that attempted bank shot, will give the Nets opportunities to score in transition, like James Harden did on that stepback 3. Nets can take this game over in a flip of a switch. On them to decide when to turn it on. 13-10 Pacers – 7:51 PM

James Harden and Blake Griffin had some sort of mishap. Harden throws the inbounds pass right away. Awful start to this one. – 7:48 PM

Blake Griffin is now 1/12 (8.3%) from downtown this season. Instead of shooting the open 3 on the last possession, he dribbled in and turned the ball over on an attempted pass to the corner. – 7:45 PM

Pacers have several favorable matchups, and they’ve deliberately gone inside for their first four shot attempts.
Of course, Pacers have no matchup answer for KD at the other end. Holiday on him first. – 7:44 PM

Pacers rookie center Isaiah Jackson was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee and is week-to-week. That’s much better than the Pacers first thought.

Caris LeVert spent a moment pregame with Mr. & Mrs. Whammy. Signed their poster and exchanged some words.
I caught up with him right after and asked him how he’s feeling: “I’m feeling good. Getting back to it.” pic.twitter.com/byz6w7rfNu – 7:02 PM

Some teams look at a 24-year-old NBA rookie and wonder “Why?”
The Indiana Pacers looked at Chris Duarte and asked “Why not?”
That No. 13 spot in the lottery is looking pretty lucky based on Duarte’s role and contributions five games in.
