After taking a 43-24 lead on a DeMar DeRozan free throw (courtesy of a Michael Malone technical foul) at the 8:28 mark in the second, the Nuggets went on a 25-16 run to end the half down by 10.
In the 3rd quarter the Nuggets would close within 7 points before the Spurs would open up and take a 78-59 led with 4:28 left. Once again, the Nuggets made a 16-4 run to end the quarter.
With the momentum behind them, and Jamal Murray waking up to the series, the night Nuggets took the lead and eventually the game with 39 point final frame.
