Many San Antonio Spurs fans were hoping to match up with the potentially-vulnerable Denver Nuggets in the first round, and their wish was granted on the final night of the regular season.
The Spurs took care of business against the Mavericks at home in Dirk Nowitzki‘s final game, and they were locked in to the seventh seed in the Western Conference after the Thunder pulled out a victory in Milwaukee.
The Timberwolves made it extremely interesting in Denver during the late slate of games Wednesday night, but the Nuggets came back and won a tight one at home to clinch the two seed.
