Afflalo buried a 3-pointer early in the third and Lawson added another moments later to ignite a 13-0 burst that made it 84-52.

The lead reached 30 points on Harris' jumper late in the third before Indiana scored the final five points of the quarter. Price tried to make things respectable by keying a burst that got Indiana within 22 early in the fourth, but the hosts then went nearly five minutes without a point as Denver coasted to the finish line.
