After Action Report

The Spurs pulled away from the Nuggets 102-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
