As Manolito said

What was Malone thinking with his closing lineup? I've always thought Jokic belonged in closing lineups but Malone likes to pull him for Plumlee. Unfortunately Plumlee likes to play up close on outside shooters so they can blow right by him for an easy layup.
I get it, Malone likes Barton but why does he slide into the lane leaving a read-hot McDermott wide open in the corner for a late game three? Barton's defense has always focused on making spectacular plays but not the less spectacular cover-your-man defense. He should be pulled for late game defense.
Playing Craig for a closing lineup would be fine, if Malone did the offense-defense swap with Barton - but late games require some offense too. Craig's offense isn't there and Plumlee can't hit a free throw. Tonight's closing rotation made no sense.
But this game shouldn't have been that close. We had a nice start (on defense anyway). Then we let the Pacers back into the game for two quarters of even play and then we took a nap in the 4th quarter.
If my memory is working correctly, Jokic scored 28 points in the first two quarters and only 2 free throws in the fourth quarter. What's really crazy is that he only took two shots and one of those was a ridiculously deep three at desperation time. I suspect he was frustrated at not getting any shots. Even crazier still, Jokic had no assists at all in the 1st & 4th quarters and only four assists in the 2nd & 3rd quarters.
Jokic needs to touch the ball and/or get the ball in the low post. He is our best player and we need him to have the ball in his hands. We need to have him running the offense. We need to have him shooting.
