After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Pacers 106-95. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
