After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers demolished the Nuggets 131-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
