After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Nuggets 107-105. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
