Losing Streak Hits Eight As Nets Lose to Pacers For Third Time
For the second straight night, the Nets held a double-digit lead over a good team. And for the second straight night, they couldn't make the plays down the stretch to end their losing streak, which now stands at eight games after a 93-88 loss to the Pacers in Indiana.

Game 31 - Nets @ Pacers - Thursday, February 16, 7:00
The Nets thought they would have 11 healthy players vs. the Grizzlies on Wednesday but Jordan Farmar was a late scratch and so the Nets streak of games with 10 or fewer players extended to seven games, which is also the length of their streak of losing games.
