The number that explains Saturday's NBA game in Mexico City is three. That is how many times Denver turned the ball over in 48 minutes, against 29 assists, and it is why the Pacers never got closer than seven in the second half.

The Denver Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 114-102 at Arena CDMX in front of 20,191, according to the ESPN box score. Denver is 5-3. Indiana fell to 3-7.

Nikola Jokic's 19 Points, 13 Rebounds and 8 Assists

The quietest line was the cleanest. Spencer Jones came off the bench for 21 minutes, made all five of his shots, including 3 of 3 from three, grabbed six rebounds and was plus-14, the best mark on the floor. Marvin Bagley III added 10 points in 12 minutes and DeMar DeRozan had 11 points and five assists. Denver's bench outscored its starters' turnovers by a wide margin: the whole roster committed three.

Indiana Shot 48 Threes and Made 15

Indiana took 48 threes and made 15. Larry Nance Jr. hit 5 of 7 from deep for 15 points in 13 minutes, and Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 23 on 10 of 18. Ivica Zubac had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Denver outscored Indiana 54-44 in the paint and led by as many as 27 before a 37-point Pacers third quarter cut it to 90-78. Indiana got within 102-95 with 7:26 left, and Denver closed on a 12-7 run.
