THE FACTS: With the fourth seed secured, the Nets can start reaching for the next rung on the Eastern Conference Playoff ladder. After blowing a 24-point lead, then rallying to pull out a 117-109 victory Friday in Indiana, Brooklyn (47-32) clinched homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs and moved two games back of the No. 3 Pacers (49-30). Because the Nets swept the season series, they’d hold the tie-breaker over Indiana. Brooklyn’s final three games are against lottery teams, while the Pacers face the Knicks and Celtics before closing the season against Philadelphia. While the Nets have surged to four straight wins, the Pacers have dropped three of four — and needed to come back from a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Cleveland Tuesday. Deron Williams scored 33 to lead the Nets but limped out late in the game after banging knees with Paul George. Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez scored 24 apiece. David West scored 26 and George 21 for Indiana.
