After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Pacers 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
