Nuggets’ furious fourth-quarter rally falls just short in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO – Jamal Murray certainly made it interesting. After trailing by as many as 21 points, the Nuggets guard drained four 3-pointers in the final four minutes.

But the San Antonio Spurs came up with four defensive stops in the final 27.4 seconds to defeat the Nuggets 104-103 on Monday night at the AT&T Center.

Gary Harris missed a fadeaway as time expired, but that was just one of many opportunities for the Nuggets in the closing seconds. Nikola Jokic got the ball picked from him by Rudy Gay with less than five seconds remaining, and Murray also missed a runner and a 3-pointer all in the final 16.
