The Pacers are starting the new year by taking on a tough and underrated Western Conference opponent, the Denver Nuggets.
So far, Indiana’s offense appears to be firing on all cylinders, as it takes a 64-62 lead into the halftime break at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Blue & Gold are looking to avoid their third loss in the last four outings.
Jeremy Lamb leads all scorers with 18 points on 5-of-7 shooting, while T.J. Warren added 14. Domantas Sabonis added nine and has a team-high five assists at the break.
Denver would respond to a 37-point Indiana first quarter with 35 points in the second to pull with two on Mason Plumlee's dunk with 3.
