The Nuggets took the win last night in a very close fought battle, ending Spurs 86 – 90 Nuggets.
The Nuggets took the early lead and kept that rhythm through the first two quarters. Spurs started their comeback and looked threatening in both of the last two quarters, but it simply wasn’t enough. 26 seconds left and 4 points behind and no-one fouled? Had the Spurs just had enough?
