After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Pacers 119-117 in overtime. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Pacers. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
