After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs held off the Nuggets 129-121. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
