After Action Report
The Spurs held off the Nuggets 121-112. Spurs' offense had its way with the Nuggets. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
