Nets Lose In Overtime Against Wizards

Brooklyn will face the undefeated Pacers at home Saturday night.

The road struggles continue for the Brooklyn Nets, as they choked away a last-second lead in Washington D.C. Friday night, only to lose in overtime.

It was the third road loss in a row to open the season for the Nets. Brooklyn led by double digits with less than five minutes to play, but couldn't close out the Wizards, who have struggled mightily at the start of the season.

Brook Lopez led the team with 23 points and five rebounds.

Brooklyn will return to the Barclays Center Saturday night to face the Indiana Pacers, who are riding high in a so far undefeated season.
