Nikola Jokic scored 30 points, Jamal Murray hit a clutch 3-pointer late - his only one of the game - and the Nuggets held off the Indiana Pacers 107-104 on Tuesday night.

 

Victor Oladipo had 25 points for the Pacers, who had their five-game winning streak snapped, but remain fifth in the Eastern Conference. Oladipo scored a career-high 47 points against the Nuggets on Dec. 10.

 

Seeing their once double-digit lead trimmed to 91-89, the Nuggets got a lift from Murray, who made a 3-pointer from the corner with 3:37 left. He celebrated a bit as he made his way back down the court. Will Barton turned in a big game as well with 26 points and 10 rebounds.
