The Nuggets were finally healthy and active tonight after a bout of health issues over the last few weeks. Their starting lineup showed up fresh and rested ready to get down to business and although it was bumpy, there were plenty of trick shots, and behind the back, no-look passes for a great must-win.
Starting lineups:
The Nuggets started off well offensively, but showed some challenges handling Paul George on the perimeter. Their defense was just okay allowing too much room for the Pacers giving them easy buckets. The Nuggets got off to a good start offensively taking an early lead 25-13 on a 17-3 run with about 5 minutes remaining in the first.
