After Action Report

The Nuggets rolled past the Pacers 127-90. Nuggets torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
