SAN ANTONIO – Denver will be treated to the two best words in sports: Game 7.
The Nuggets couldn’t convert on their first opportunity to close out San Antonio on Thursday night, falling 120-103 in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series. The Nuggets will get a second chance in Game 7 on Saturday night at Pepsi Center with the series tied 3-3.
Denver unraveled in the fourth quarter behind a flood of Spurs jumpers and several unproductive offensive sets. It could ill-afford to rest superstar Nikola Jokic, who registered the most jarring stat line of his already incredible series.
