After Action Report
In Indiana, the Nuggets survived the Pacers 121-119 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
