Robert Pack · Too close for comfort in their battle on the scoreboards against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Denver Nuggets, through one crowd-invigorating run, had finally started to break loose. Powered by a Mile High crowd beginning to subscribe to its fast-paced style, Denver — with separation from the pack of wolves within reach — fittingly, knew precisely who to turn to. Already beginning his sprint down the floor following Minnesota’s missed shot, Robert Pack catches an outlet pass mid-stride before powering into the paint with 6-foot-11 forward Thurl Bailey poised to challenge anything in the painted area. Fearless, despite giving up nearly a full foot, Pack compensates for it through his revered vertical leap, springing through the air with an electric one-handed flush to propel the Nuggets to a near double-digit lead. Riding the wave of that momentum, Denver would survive Minnesota’s valiant efforts on January 25, 1993. Invigorating the second unit through a bucket-getting 35-minute cameo, Pack helped the cause with 16 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and three steals. · State of Mint
