After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Pacers 103-92. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Nuggets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
