What the Spurs need to do to beat the Nuggets on Game 3

Game 2 of Spurs vs. Nuggets was not all that dissimilar to Game 1, all things considered. At least the parts that made sense weren’t. The two teams essentially stuck to their game plans. The star centers faced double teams. Denver remained more aggressive on defense while San Antonio was happy to concede some jumpers. The rotations were tweaked, but only a little bit. There were no huge adjustments.

Going into Game 3, that trend might hold. After all, both teams have had success using their current tactics. The onus to make tweaks is probably on the Spurs since they lost the last one, but it took a crazy fourth-quarter performance from Jamal Murray for Denver to beat them.
