After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Pacers 112-81. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
