Denver brushed past an overmatched Indiana team today 109-97. Always politically correct, Denver coach Bob stated simply "We just managed to do what we needed to get done out there. The players had solid execution all around, and Mcclendon's effort helped set the pace. Indiana is a team we've had success against in the past, which I think gave us a bit more confidence coming in."

Indiana coach Coach Hitch was a little more frank. "We knew going in that we'd need a miracle to beat Denver, and we didn't get it. They have better players and a better coach, and did what they were supposed to do out there. I'm just glad the final score wasn't even worse."

Denver was led by Mcclendon (12 points, 2 steals), Banks (19 points, 2 assists, a steal), White (6 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks). Indiana was led by Sigler (23 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, a block), Wade (28 points, 6 boards, 1 assists), Gray (19 points, 10 boards, 0 assists).

Denver jump to 43-31 and 23-14 at home. They remain at #2 in the Northwest and hold at #5 overall in the Western Conference. Indiana fall to 39-36. They stay at #2 in the Central and stay at #6 overall in the Eastern Conference.
