Victor Oladipo scored 26 points, Domantas Sabonis had 17 coming off the bench and the Indiana Pacers beat the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night.
Kyle Lowry had his 11th career triple-double, DeMar DeRozan scored 31 points and the Toronto Raptors won their ninth straight meeting with Brooklyn by routing the Nets 120-87 on Friday night.
Neither of Jahlil Okafor nor Nik Stauskas have played a second in the two games since they were acquired by the Nets late last week. That has to stop immediately.
The New York Knicks held on to beat the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night after losing star forward Kristaps Porzingis to a sore left knee early in the second half.
Will the Knicks' road woes carry over to Brooklyn, where their fans might still account for the majority? Can the Nets, who have won three of their last four, stay hot?
Okafor was the consensus No. 1 high school player in his class, won a national championship at Duke and averaged 17.5 points and seven rebounds in his rookie campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson each scored 20 points and Miami beat the Brooklyn Nets 101-89 on Saturday in the Heat's first game in Mexico in franchise history.

Caris Levert scored 21 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 17 and Brooklyn overcame another strong performance by Russell Westbrook to beat Oklahoma City 100-95 on Thursday night in Mexico City.

Spencer Dinwiddie had 15 points for Brooklyn, which has lost five of seven.
DeMarre Carroll put the Nets ahead for good at 78-76 on a 3-pointer with 2:03 remaining in the third quarter.
