Recap: Denver Nuggets crumble late and lose 125-120 to Indiana Pacers – Denver Stiffs
The Denver Nuggets losing streak continues. Nikola Jokic had another huge game and got some help from Christian Braun but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Indiana Pacers. The Nuggets had too many turnovers late and ultimately it cost them the game. Myles Turned led Indiana with twenty-four points and they earn a 125-120 win.
The Nuggets couldn’t hit any shots to start the game but Indiana was equally inept. Eventually Denver started getting to the rim and got some easy points but the Pacers also started to find ways to score. Both teams ran the court while offering little defense and the game stayed close. Jokic was hitting threes and getting to the paint when needed on his way to scoring fifteen of Denver’s first twenty-one points. They went on an 11-2 run to go up by seven with about three minutes left. Jokic kept leading the charge as the quarter closed out and Denver led 33-24 after one.

Julian Strawther tried to give the Nuggets some offense while Nikola got some rest but the Nuggets largely went cold. Their defense was better though and after the Pacers cut the lead to seven they couldn’t get much closer. Gordon hit a couple shots and by the midway point of the quarter the lead was back into double digits. The Pacers responded. They went on a 12-4 run and pulled back within a couple baskets. Jokic got back to dominating and building back Denver’s lead but their defense was inconsistent. Braun ran down the floor right before the buzzer to get a layup and Denver went to the locker room up 66-61.

The Nuggets offense was tentative to open the second half and the Pacers quickly got back within a bucket of tying the game. Turner kept hitting threes but Braun had the response. Neither team played defense in the meat of the quarter and the Pacers eventually got a lead. It was short lived with Jokic getting going again. The Nuggets couldn’t string together enough stops to put any distance between them and Indiana though. Everyone was bombing threes through the second half of the quarter. The game was still tied with under two minutes to go. Indiana was able to get a one point lead right at the end. They went to the fourth up 98-97.

Indiana kept getting good looks to start the fourth quarter while the Nuggets offense struggled. T.J. McConnell got whatever he wanted and built the Pacers lead to seven. Jokic came back in but the Pacers kept pouring it on. Braun ramped up his aggressiveness and scored seven straight points to pull the Nuggets back within three with about five minutes to go. He and Jokic led the offense down the stretch and got Denver within one with a couple minutes left. Unfortunately, they had a pair of killer turnovers that got them down four under a minute to go. They gave themselves a chance to tie it with under thirty seconds left but had another terrible turnover that ended up being the final nail in their coffin. Denver lets another one slip away and loses 125-120.
