Even when the Nuggets aren’t their best, they are finding ways to grind out results. They showcased it in a gritty and sometimes emotional 106-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs at Ball Arena.
A controversial non-foul call on contact towards Nikola Jokiu0107 in the second quarter saw head coach Michael Malone ejected from the contest as he came to the defense of his All-Star. Denver seemingly was energized from the moment, responding with a dominant second half to secure the first of a home and home back-to-back against the Spurs.
Stop us if you’ve read this, but Jokiu0107 once again almost had another triple-double as the center put up 25 points, 10 assists, and nine boards in the Nuggets’ win.
