The Denver Nuggets prevailed over the San Antonio Spurs thanks to an improved second half.
The Denver Nuggets were finally able to defeat the San Antonio Spurs for the first time in over a year. As a matter of fact, the last time they defeated the Spurs, Jusuf Nurkic was still on the team believe it or not. To say this has been a long time coming would be a massive understatement.
Despite the win, San Antonio still put up a fight. They may have been on the back end of back to back and without their two stars in Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge, but this did not deter them from giving Denver a run for their money on their home court.
In the first half, it looked like the Spurs were going to have their way with the Nuggets’ defense all game and were just waiting for the right moment to pull away and create a blow out.
The good thing is, Denver made adjustments and were able to keep their playoff hopes alive with a key win over the current third seed in the Western Conference.
