After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Pacers 111-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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.
