After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Nuggets snuck past the Spurs 101-98. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
