The Nuggets clawed and fought until the final buzzer, but they weren’t able to get a win on the road against the San Antonio Spurs, losing 104-103 Monday night.
DeMar DeRozan had 24 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge had 22 points, leading the Spurs to a win despite nearly coughing up the victory in the final minutes.
Jamal Murray had 25 points, with a scoring explosion in the final four minutes of the game to nearly single-handedly win the game for the Nuggets. Denver struggled mightily when Jokic wasn’t on the court, trailing by double digits for most of the game, beating themselves with turnovers and by missing open shots.
