Before Portland suffered some injuries to their key players, most San Antonio Spurs fans wanted to see the Denver Nuggets in their first round matchup.
They got their wish after both teams won on the final night of the regular season.
The Spurs come into this series winning 14 of their final 19 games whereas the Nuggets stumbled a bit down the stretch going 12-9.
Both teams enter the series as healthy as they’ve been all year, which should allow each squad to perform at the peak of their powers in the first round.
The Spurs and Nuggets provide each other with some difficult matchups which will cause Gregg Popovich and Mike Malone to make adjustments as the series begins to take shape.
