After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Nuggets 116-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
