After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Nuggets 131-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
