Thursday, January 12- O2 Arena- Indiana Pacers

The Nuggets and Pacers played two of the closest and most exciting games of either team last season. The first game went the Nuggets way as they won a high scoring affair 129-126. While it was tied up at 123, the Nuggets were able to prevail and once again send the Pacers home with loss. The Pacers have not beat the Nuggets in Denver since 2007.

The second game was another thriller as the Pacers took that game in overtime.

The Pacers were one of the most active teams this offseason as they obtained Al Jefferson and Thaddeus Young, two veteran big men. These two will be able to anchor down the paint and teach youngster Myles Turner the ways of the NBA.

But, the Pacers were not the only team that improved. The Nuggets were able to snag Jamal Murray in the draft along with Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez. While still rebuilding, the Nuggets will be able to put up an excellent fight against a feared Eastern Conference team.

These two teams will not only compete this season, but they will do it this time in London.

According the Guardian, Danilo Gallinari is ready for this game; he said this concerning the Nuggets game in London: “Our entire team and organization are looking forward to this opportunity to showcase our league to fans overseas.”

This game will be an exciting experience for both teams, and if NBA are lucky, they will get to see another nail-bitter.
