Pacers rally for OT win over Nets with another late effort

Beenedict Mathurin made all three free throws with 14 seconds left to send Indiana's game against the Brooklyn Nets to overtime. He scored nine points in a row between the fourth quarter and overtime as he finished Indiana's 105-99 victory with 28 points and 16 rebounds.

The Pacers just stole a win with a difficult three-pointer from Andrew Nembhard with 14 seconds left on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

On Monday night it was Obi Toppin shooting down the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime.

It's not ideal that the Pacers are going down to the wire against teams like the injury-decimated Mavericks or the 23-47 Nets, but a win is a win, especially with Tyrese Haliburton out. 

It was fitting that Mathurin forced overtime with free throws because the Pacers dominated from the foul line, shooting 27-for-31 to Brooklyn's 13-for-18.

This late rejection from Myles Turner in OT to seal Indiana's win helped too.

Turner finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.

The Pacers face the Nets again on Saturday, staying in Indianapolis. They might get Haliburton back by then, but they'd probably satisfy for a less stressful victory for once, too.
