The Brooklyn Nets picked up their first victory of the NBA season on Sunday, finally climbing out of the win column after a rough start to the year, according to Sporting News.
While the result was a milestone for a Nets team that had yet to taste victory, the bigger story may belong to the Indiana Pacers. The loss to a Brooklyn squad still searching for its footing highlighted growing concerns about Indiana's own performance and consistency this season, per Sporting News.
The outcome adds to questions about where the Pacers stand as the season progresses, with the defeat serving as a warning sign that their issues may run deeper than a single bad night.
