The Denver Nuggets were staring in the face the very real possibility of going 0-6 on their current road trip. After losing to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Nuggets had four straight games against quality Eastern Conference opponents. Luckily, they caught the Orlando Magic in the middle of the injury bug and got off the schneid with a 103-89 victory on Friday. Now they turn their focus towards the remaining three games of the road trip, the first of which is against the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers were pegged to be a rebuilding team this year.
