The Spurs fought harder than they did at any point in their 2-7 home stand slide, but the disparity in talent and experience took over in the final quarter as the Nuggets got every loose ball and turned the extra possessions into baskets as they put the game out of reach late. This kind of effort from the Spurs might have been enough against the bad teams they recently lost to, but not against an elite contender like Denver. The Spurs did have some good moments in the game, but they lost themselves and the game with a cold spell that started midway through the third quarter and continued until garbage time with about 4 minutes left.
