After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Nuggets 99-96. Pacers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
