After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Nuggets 108-104. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
