San Antonio beat the eighth-seeded Nuggets on Saturday night in the AT&T Center. No surprise there, the Spurs were enjoying their fourth home game in a row with no back-to-backs while the Nuggets were finishing up a tough four-games-in-five-nights stretch (FOGAFINI in the PtR vernacular). The Spurs finished the three-game season-series sweep with the win.
With the loss the Nuggets fall to 22-28 and remain in the eighth seed, though the Blazers are just a half-game back. The east currently has two teams below .500 that would be in the playoffs if the season ended right now.
