Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Denver Nuggets in cup play 139 to 136 in an epic 18 point comeback lead by D. Vassell 35 points. D. Vassell hit two clutch three pointers down the stretch to put the game out of reach after the Spurs came back. I am sure he has heard many of the fans talking down on his contract and play as of late, but being a professional and learning how to be mentally tough will go a long way for his game, as well as how his positive play is such a continued asset to what the Spurs want to accomplish this year! J. Champagnie also contributed in the victory by playing solid defense and scoring 25 points with 10 rebounds. His decision making and killer instinct from three has really helped the Spurs get to the quarter finals in cup play. D. Fox also had a solid game by scoring 15 points and having 12 assists to affect the game in different ways! D. Harper had 11 points and continues to bring a different but steady element at the point guard position. K. Johnson also continues to bring plenty of energy off the bench with 14 points and 8 rebounds. H. Barnes hit some timely shots and contributed with 10 points to a steady Spurs attack that will only get better when S. Castle and Wemby come back!

Nuggets: The Denver Nuggets were without A. Gordon but still seem like the title contender many around the NBA have labeled them to be! N. Jokic is still an amazing all around player that the Nuggets run the entire offense out of scoring 21 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds to pace the team. C. Johnson chipped in 28 points and found himself open most of the night for timely three pointers. J Murray was also a thorn in the Spurs side scoring 37 points, but it wasn’t enough to stop the surging Spurs!
