Pacers 110, Nets 85: Rodney Stuckey tallied 20 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals as visiting Indiana ended Brooklyn's three-game winning streak.

C.J. Watson collectd 17 points and nine rebounds off the bench and David West also scored 17 for the Pacers, who have won five straight in the series. Luis Scola scored 11 of his 13 in the first half and George Hill and Chris Copeland each added 12 points for Indiana.

Jarrett Jack scored 22 points to lead the Nets, who shot 36.4 percent and were 7-for-25 from 3-point range. Joe Johnson added 18 points and Sergey Karasev contributed 14.

Despite shooting 32.6 percent in the first half, the Nets trailed just 50-47 at halftime and scored the first four points of the third quarter to surge ahead. That was the last lead they had, though, as a 9-0 run stretched Indiana's advantage to 12 and Brooklyn's nine third-quarter turnovers helped the Pacers to a 79-65 lead entering the fourth.

The Pacers scored the first seven points of the final stanza and had the lead as large as 22 before Jack's 3-pointer set off a 9-1 surge that pulled the Nets within 94-80, but that was as close as it got. West hit back-to-back jumpers then fed Copeland for a dunk that started a 12-0 run to seal it.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Stuckey played despite a facial contusion and swollen eye suffered in Friday's loss to Detroit. … West was hit with a technical foul with 6:54 left in the first quarter for shoving Nets PF Kevin Garnett after Garnett blew in West's ear. … Indiana SG C.J. Miles and SF Damjan Rudez both sat out while suffering from upper respiratory infections.
