After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Nuggets squeaked past the Spurs 94-89. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
