After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Nuggets 109-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
