DENVER -- Andre Iguodala's defensive stop in the final moments helped the Nuggets survive a nerve-racking finish against the Pacers.

 

Iguodala made a free throw with 0.4 seconds remaining after forcing a turnover to deny a last-second shot by Indiana, and Denver won 102-101 Monday night.

 

"I'll admit I was a little nervous [about] missing those other free throws," said Iguodala, who had misfired on four consecutive free throws earlier in the fourth quarter. "But we put ourselves in a bad position by giving up some buckets.

 

"Up 12 and put yourself in a position to give it away. But take a positive out of it, that you were able to gut it out. Got a big defensive stop and then got lucky and hit a free throw."

 

Iguodala finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, making up for his 5-of-10 shooting from the free throw line with the one at the end along with the defensive play of the game when he stole the ball from Paul George as the Pacers' guard maneuvered for a potential game-winning shot.

 

"It's happened a couple of times, last-second shots and guys have come at me," said Iguodala. "It's so surprising. I'm like, `Really?' I take pride in being a defender and getting stops."'
