Great half defensively, really causing a lot of headaches for Brooklyn. Shame Blatche decided to cause Hill one by poking him in the face completely unnecessarily...

Nearly 2am here, and iPad running dry, but I have faith we will see this one out.

Lance playing his socks off again!

That Pierce foul was seriously nasty, I hope he gets banned for a game on the back of that.

The Nets overall looked pathetic to me, Billy King has to be the worst GM in the world by a country mile, at some points I genuinely believed Blatche was their best player. Just for fun, my report for them (In soccer-style)

Deron Williams 4/10 offensively managed to create a few chances but most of the time appeared static and lazy especially on defense.
Joe Johnson 5/10 created his own shot (which seems to be the modus operandi for the whole Nets team) but failed on defense.
Alan Anderson 3/10 did he play? Nearly 27 minutes you say? Hahahahahaha.
Teletovic 2/10 Great job being both a black hole on offense and defense, it takes a special amount of skill to manage that.
Kevin Garnett 5/10 was the only starter who played defense at times, couldn't do a lot offensively but did more to get fouls on Pacers' than any other Net. Why did he only play 18 minutes?
