After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Nuggets 116-112. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
