After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs outlasted the Nuggets 98-92. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
