Jamal Murray was the player the Nuggets turned the ball to for the scoring. Murray was able to put in a total of 24 points and had a decent night shooting from the floor. Nikola Jokic was able to really control the glass for the Nuggets with 10 defensive boards and 3 on the offensive glass.

The Spurs played as expected in the second game and showed that they are not a road team. The downside is the Spurs were able to easily dominate the game against the Nuggets in the first one and then came back to have some struggles and seem to have left their offense off the court for portions of the game as the Spurs never really looked like they were in the fourth quarter.
DeMarcus DeRozan was the leader when it came to scoring in the game for the Spurs. He was able to really control the game for the Spurs with 31 points in the game and shot 100% from the line. Rudy Gay was able to pull down 6 defensive boards and cleared the glass 3 times on the defensive side of the ball.

The Spurs were dominated in the 4th quarter of the last game and that was the only quarter the Spurs did not really win or play well in. However, the Spurs are going to bounce back nicely in this game and close out the game without letting the Nuggets back into the game. Not to mention the playoff experience of Popovich will show up as he guides the Spurs team. Final Score, San Antonio Spurs win and cover ATS 109-104.
