Nothing significant changed in the third quarter. The Colorado team would pull away, and the Indiana Pacers would catch up, repeating the pattern.
Then, in the fourth quarter, Jamal Murray took responsibility, maintaining his team with a three-possession lead. Nikola Jokic became more actively involved in the game, and Michael Porter Jr. completed a brilliant performance with his shots, leading the Denver Nuggets to a double-digit lead. After that, there was no coming back for the Indiana Pacers.
The most effective trio for the winners was the mentioned Jokic-Murray-Porter Jr., each scoring 25 points. The Serbian center added 12 rebounds and nine assists (shooting 12/13 from the field). Bruce Brown stood out for the losing team with 18 points.
