After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Nuggets 113-97. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 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.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
