After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs rolled past the Nuggets 130-93. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
