After Action Report

The Pacers squeaked past the Nuggets 118-117 in overtime. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
