After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Nuggets 115-84. Spurs' offense had its way with the Nuggets. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
