An old-school scorefest broke out between two former ABA teams as the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets combined for 255 points in a contest eventually won by the Nuggets 129-126. Both teams set season-highs in points, and in aggravation for their defensive-minded head coaches. Danilo Gallinari fouled out late in the fourth quarter while Paul George had his final 3-point shot blocked by Emmanuel Mudiay as the visiting team came up short. The Nuggets pulled a reversal of fheir Heat loss, trailing in this game at halftime by 12 but stealing victory from the jaws of defeat this time.
