After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers outlasted the Nuggets 116-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
