#NBA#Pacers
The pacers need more killer instinct. I think they'll still win this one, but you can feel them pushing less and letting the lead fall down a bit.
This isn't the only time so far this playoffs I've noticed it.
The #Pacers understandably overplayed Murray with the ball in the last minute, so Jokic nailed a pair of “Threecolas!” — the last with 4.7 seconds left — to close out the 114-109 win. Great road win for the #Nuggets.
Joker finished with 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Murray had 31 points (20 in the first half), eight rebounds and seven assists.
#Denver is 3-1 on the road trip and next plays Thursday at New York.
Caldwell-Pope and Murray just played rock-paper-scissors for the right to shoot a technical free throw. Caldwell-Pope won. #Nuggets 71, #Pacers 71, third quarter. #NBA@nba
Peyton Watson with the twisting oop off Murray’s alley. Murray leads #Denver with 12 points. #Pacers 29, #Nuggets 28, end of the first quarter. #NBA@nba
#Urbanists in Rush County #Indiana are encouraged to provide early public comment on the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which will guide future land use and #transportation development, at two in-person meetings Jan. 24.
Good win for the #Nuggets with four starters over 20 points. They also held the #Pacers 17 points below their season average (although Haliburton being out helped with that). The numbers:
Jokic: 25 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists, 12-for-13 from the field;
MPJ: 25 points, eight rebounds, seven-for-11 from three;
Murray: 25 points, eight assists;
Gordon: 20 points, 10 rebounds.
Next up: at Philadelphia on Tuesday. #Denver hits the halfway point of the season 28-13.
Gonna go out on a limb and say the Pacers are going to need to make more than five threes tonight if they want to beat the Bucks for a fourth time this season.
Just when you think Tyrese Halliburton can't get any better ... Tied a #Pacers record with 23 assists, and became just the third player to have 20+ points and 20+ assists in consecutive games (John Stockton and Magic Johnson are the others).
He did have two turnovers against the Knicks tonight, so maybe Wally Szczerbiak was right after all ... 😎
