The Denver Nuggets (2 - 6) went into Indiana and got their second win of the year, beating the Pacers (3 - 7) 108 - 87 on Friday night. The Nuggets fans are probably feeling a bit more relaxed after this one, since their loss on Thursday night to the Trail Blazers was just painful to watch. The Nuggets looked like a different team on Friday, as they had seven players score in double figures, and 11 players score in total. Ty Lawson led the charge, scoring 11 points (4 - 13 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) to go with 10 assists, three rebounds and one steal. Head coach Brian Shaw spread his minutes out well on Friday, and is still in the midst of finding the right starting five. Denver now heads to New York to take on the Knicks Sunday. For the Pacers, it was just a tough outing. They were down by 25 going into the fourth quarter, and turned to their bench pretty early on in this one. A total of eight players saw 22 or more minutes on Friday night, and A.J. Price actually led the team in scoring off the bench, with 14 points (5 - 9 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes. Big man Roy Hibbert was very quiet on Friday, scoring only nine points (3 - 9 FG, 3 - 4 FT) to go with four rebounds, two blocks and one assist. The Pacers will now head to Chicago on Saturday night.
