SAN ANTONIO – The Nuggets may still be in a Christmas lull.
The Spurs took it to the dazed and bewildered Nuggets in the fourth quarter of Wednesday night’s game and pulled away for a 111-103 win. A 15-0 fourth-quarter run, buoyed by 3-pointers and dunks, sealed the Spurs’ victory, though Denver made a late run to keep it relatively tight.
The Nuggets, who host the Spurs on Friday at the Pepsi Center, dropped to 21-11.
Despite knocking down 18 3-pointers, the Nuggets shot just 39 percent from the field and were outscored 48-28 in the paint.
