Rookie Paul George scored 14 points off the bench as six Pacers scored in double figures. Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert scored 11 apiece and Darren Collison 10.
The Pacers outrebounded New Jersey 45-41 after outrebounding their opponents by an average of 18 boards in Vogel’s first three games. Josh McRoberts had nine rebounds to lead the Pacers.
Indiana led 56-43 at halftime and was never threatened by the Nets in the second half.
