After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers survived the Nuggets 117-113. Pacers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
