Five games into the series against the San Antonio Spurs, and it looks like the Denver Nuggets are finally remembering that they are the better team.
The Nuggets took a 3-2 series lead against the Spurs last night as Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, Gary Harris, and the rest of Denver’s roster appeared far more comfortable in a playoff setting than at any time before. After a Will Barton driving layup at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets led by as many as 29 points, effectively making the rest of the quarter garbage time.
