After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Pacers 121-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
