The Denver Nuggets defeated the Indiana Pacers, 113-103, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday night.

The Nuggets (21-15) checked into the contest looking to build on the momentum of a decisive win over the Milwaukee Bucks in their most recent contest, and after trailing by just one point coming out of the first quarter, they came back to forge a nine-point lead by halftime. The Pacers (16-19) were only able to shave a point off their deficit in the third quarter and subsequently trailed by as much as 18 during a fourth quarter during which they never truly threatened Denver.

Michael Porter, Jr. paced the Nuggets with 24 points, adding 11 rebounds, two steals and one block. Jamal Murray furnished 23 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals. Nikola Jokic generated a 20-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included eight assists. Will Barton supplied 16 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block.

Myles Turner led the Pacers with a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included three blocks and one steal. Doug McDermott delivered 20 points, four rebounds, one assist and three steals. Justin Holiday registered 16 points, two assists, one rebound and two steals. Domantas Sabonis churned out a 10-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double that also included four steals. Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. McConnell collected 10 points each as well while dishing out six assists and recording five rebounds, respectively.

The Nuggets return to action Friday, March 12, when they'll visit the Memphis Grizzlies. Meanwhile, the Pacers are also off until that date, when they'll travel to face the Los Angeles Lakers.
