The Brooklyn Nets overcame a lack of key players to defeat the Indiana Pacers 98-90, securing their first win of the 2026-27 NBA season (1-5).

Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 23 points and nine rebounds, while Julius Randle added 20 points. Nolan Traore and Andrew Nembhard contributed 16 points and six assists for the Pacers, filling in for the injured Tyrese Haliburton. Traore, who had a standout performance against the Pacers in a 136-109 loss, was moved to the starting lineup by Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez.
The Nets face their city rivals, the New York Knicks, in a back-to-back game at Madison Square Garden tomorrow.
