After Action Report

The Spurs rolled past the Nuggets 132-89. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
