What We Learned from the Spurs loss to the Nuggets

Through the first two games of the season, the San Antonio Spurs have shown both extremes of what they can be on offense. In their season opener, they played an extremely exciting brand of basketball, and nearly everyone was red hot in an entertaining bard burner against the shorthanded Orlando Magic. Then, in their second game, in the Mile High City — home of the Denver Nuggets, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, and the biggest homecourt advantage in the NBA: altitude — the offense sputtered. There wasn’t much ball movement, they coughed it up 20 times, and got a grand total of 18 points from the bench unit.
