The Indiana Pacers kicked off a five-game road trip against the Nuggets. In a game where Denver held the lead for the majority of the contest, the Pacers would walk away with a 115-107 win.
The Indiana Pacers have been on a winning streak and that continued Sunday night in Denver.
In a game where Domantas Sabonis would earn his first career triple-double, the Pacers displayed poise in battling with the Nuggets for a complete four quarters.
Dynamic big man Nikola Jokić had one of his best performances of the season, but the effort wasn’t good enough down the stretch for the Nuggets to earn a win against the trending Pacers.
Once again, Indiana showcased a full-team effort. That was evident as Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. Warren and Sabonis all finished with 22 points.
However, the team’s leading scorer for the evening was Doug McDermott who finished with 24 points off the bench. McDermott would continue his strong shooting stroke by sinking six three-pointers in Denver.
With a tough stretch of games over the next week, the Pacers starting off their west coast road trip with a strong win over the Nuggets gives the team confidence moving forward.
