After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Nuggets 131-118. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
