After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets edged the Pacers 105-99. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
