Brooklyn looked like champions today, beating Indiana 94-75. "That's the best we've seen them for a while," said an overwhelmed Indiana coach Coach Hitch. "None of the tapes we had of them showed the fluid execution that we saw out there today, and frankly we just weren't prepared as well as they were. I take full responsibility for that; with better preparation we could have won. Instead they just took over the game and never let us back in."

Brooklyn was led by Alves (7 points, 11 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks), Spring (32 points, 0 assists), Fuller (17 points, 2 blocks). Indiana was led by Wade (15 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, a steal, a block), Kornegay (12 points, 0 assists, 3 steals), Robinson (10 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks).

With this victory, Brooklyn stand at 20-7 and 10-2 at home. They stay at #2 in the Atlantic and hold at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference. Indiana are now 14-12. They remain at #2 in the Central and remain at #6 overall in the Eastern Conference.
