After Action Report
In Denver, the Spurs took care of the Nuggets 98-81. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
