Deron Williams (right thigh contusion) had 22 points, five rebounds and nine assists in 41 minutes in a win over the visiting Pacers on Sunday.
Joe Johnson added 20 points, three 3-pointers, five rebounds and three assists, and the Nets' All-Star backcourt is finally starting live up to their billing under coach P.J. Carlesimo. After a slow start this season, Williams has top-10 value during Brooklyn's current 8-1 streak since Avery Johnson's departure.
