The San Antonio Spurs faced the Denver Nuggets for the second time in three days on a busy night of NBA action. In an interesting move to encourage voter participation, the NBA announced that all 30 teams would be playing Monday night and then take the day off on Tuesday to allow fans to vote. This lead to a later than normal tip, at 8:30 pm Central Time.
In the first quarter, the Spurs made it pretty clear that they appreciated the extra day off and maybe a little bit of some home cooking.
