The Nuggets led 66-54 after Porter hit a running 3-pointer early in the third quarter, but Indiana made a comeback.

Holiday started it with a 3-pointer, McDermott and Turner had layups, Brogdon hit two shots and Holiday drained another from deep to cap a 14-2 run to tie it at 68. Denver called a timeout and started a surge of its own.

Porter dunked, Jokic hit a 10-foot jumper and then fed Vlatko Cancar for a driving layup to put the Nuggets up 74-68. Denver closed the third on a 14-6 run to take an 82-74 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Nuggets tried to pull away early in the final period when they went up by 11 on Murray's layup. Edmond Sumner answered with a 3-pointer and Jeremy Lamb's jumper got the Pacers within six but Denver responded again.

Porter made a 3-pointer, Murray dunked on a fast break and Porter hit another from deep to stretch the lead to 14. Jokic returned to the floor and hit a turnaround in the lane.

Porter then blocked Brogdon's layup attempt, which led to another Murray dunk and a 99-81 lead with 5:22 left.

McDermott ended the drought with a 3-pointer but Indiana never seriously threatened the rest of the way.

The Nuggets trailed by a point after the first quarter but used a 9-2 run late in the second to lead by as many as 12 and took a 61-52 advantage into halftime.
