After a five-game losing streak, The Denver Nuggets got a much needed win against The Indiana Pacers in London today. The Nuggets were lead by their skilled big man Josif Nurkic who lead them with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Mike Malone's squad played unfazed while competing in the NBA's seventh ever game in London at O2 Arena. Danilo Gallinari also contributed with 18 points which Coach Malone called his best game so far this season.

The Nuggets outscored The Pacers 39-20 in the third quarter and shot 73.7 percent in that period to put the game away. CJ Miles scored 20 and point guard Jeff Teague added 14 points and nine assists for the Pacers. The Nuggets hot start was due to Gallinari making 3 field goals from beyond the arc in the first quarter and the entire team finishing 15-32 from three.

This loss for Indiana snapped a five-game winning streak and leaves them sixth in the Eastern Conference. Both teams will have their next game this coming Monday as The Pacers will have a rematch against The Pelicans and The Nuggets will host the Orlando Magic.
