"Tonight, they seemed to have more energy than we did at the endof the game," Nuggets head coach George Karl said. "They wonthe game probably because of that." "We played the game with a lot of guts," O'Brien said. "It wasa game of runs, and we had one more run than they did." In the first quarter, the Pacers connected on seven of theirfirst nine shots and raced out to a 15-0 lead. Danny Grangerscored seven points and hit all three of his shots, including a3-pointer, during the run.

The two teams played a wild third quarter, which saw leads of 12by the Pacers and seven by the Nuggets. "It is frustrating because we got behind by so much," Nuggetsguard Allen Iverson said. "In the beginning of the game, we had touse up so much energy to get back into the game." Anthony Carter, playing in only his third game of the seasonafter being sidelined with a fractured right hand, collected 17points, eight rebounds and six assists for Denver.
