The Nuggets evened their season series against the Spurs, winning 122-119 in a highly entertaining game to kick off the final stretch of the season following the All-Star break.
Nikola Jokic had 28 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds before fouling out late in the fourth, and Wilson Chandler responded to the coaching staff’s decision to keep him in the starting lineup with 18 points and 16 rebounds.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 38 points for the Spurs, and San Antonio nearly pulled off the road win, but they weren’t able to get stops in the final minute to secure their comeback.
