After Action Report
The Nuggets stunned the Spurs 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
