00:03 Now we go to Indianapolis, the Nuggets on a road trip out in the east and
00:07 now to the Midwest against the Pacers.
00:09 And a 114-109 win for the Denver Nuggets,
00:13 where Nikola Jokic hit the game dagger in that three pointer
00:17 with just over six seconds remaining in regulation.
00:20 It was a two point game at the time, it extended the lead to five,
00:24 it sealed the game for the Nugs.
00:26 They did not cover by the hook, closing line was five and
00:30 a half points in favor of Denver as a road favorite this year for
00:34 the Nuggets, only 6-13 against the spread.
00:37 But Denver now tied in terms of the overall standings for
00:41 that top record in the Western Conference.
00:44 >> Yeah, not a great start here to the Pascal Siakam error here in Indiana.
00:48 Now granted, you're still waiting for Tyrese Halliburton to come back and
00:51 be healthy.
00:51 There was a chance that we thought he was going to play yesterday in the morning,
00:55 but later on the afternoon,
00:56 it looks like he's probably gonna even be out a few more games here.
00:59 So it certainly doesn't help the Pacers and the pace that they used to play at,
01:02 which we're routinely seeing games at 150 to 140 with the Indiana Pacers.
01:06 This one much more measured at 114 to 109.
01:09 But when you have your superstars on the road, both get you 31 points and
01:12 a triple double here by Jokic, you're probably gonna win most of those
01:15 basketball games and also be efficient, Ben, as a team.
01:18 Going on the road as the Nuggets are entering that game at 13 and
01:21 10 on the road now improving to 14 and 10, shooting 50% from the floor,
01:25 88% from the free throw line.
01:27 You have the better superstars, you won that basketball game.
01:30 That's the way it's supposed to be.
01:31 31 wins now in the season for the Denver Nuggets.
