After suffering two consecutive losses, the Denver Nuggets returned home on Wednesday to comfortably defeat the San Antonio Spurs. Denver relied on strong ball movement to generate quality offense, as they finished with 41 assists in the 113-85 win. The Nuggets were also able to knock down 12 3-pointers, a key reason they were able to have success against San Antonio’s defense. On the other end, Denver’s defense also stood out, as the Spurs were only able to knock down 38.3 percent of their shots.
The Nuggets (52-26) quickly jumped out to a 5-0 lead after one minute of action, prompting a timeout from Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
