The Denver Nuggets not only had to play the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio on the second night of a back to back, but they also faced a Spurs team that had their star player back in Kawhi Leonard. Leonard had previously missed the last three games for the Spurs with a shoulder injury, and had also missed the majority of the season with a calf injury. He had a big night in his return and also got some help from Davis Bertans and LaMarcus Aldridge as the Spurs wore the Nuggets down throughout the game.
