After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Nuggets 112-110. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
