Andre Iguodala hit a free throw with 0.4 seconds left and the Denver Nuggets rallied after blowing a 14-point fourth-quarter lead to beat the Indiana Pacers 102-101 on Monday night.

Iguodala finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on his 29th birthday. Danilo Gallinari had 27 points and Ty Lawson scored 18, dished out seven assists and had five steals for the Nuggets (28-18) who have won four straight.

Paul George scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Pacers (26-19), who have lost three straight.Lance Stephenson added 20 points and David West chipped in with 17.

The game was tied at 101-all when the Nuggets inbounded the ball on the side. Andre Miller sent a lob pass to a cutting Iguodala, who was fouled by George. Iguodala, who earlier in the fourth missed four straight foul shots, sank the first one and intentionally missed the second to lift the Nuggets.

Indiana trailed 96-82 with 6:44 left before tying it at 99-all on George Hill's floater in the lane with 1:52. Gallinari hit two free throws and West a putback to tie it at 101 with 38 seconds remaining, setting up the final sequence.
