After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Nuggets 117-105. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
