After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Nuggets 108-107. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
