After Action Report
In Denver, the Pacers pulled away from the Nuggets 118-107. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
