After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Nuggets 130-97. Spurs' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it

- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
