Regular Season Round 44: Denver N. - San Antonio S. 91-99
Date: December 14, 2014
Forward Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points, six blocked shots and five steals, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Denver Nuggets 99-91 on Sunday night. Forward Tim Duncan had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs, who held off a late Denver rally for the win. San Antonio lost two of its last three, including a home loss to the Lakers in overtime on Friday. The Spurs looked every bit the defending champions against Denver with a season-high 11 blocks and forcing the Nuggets into a season-high 21 turnovers. Leonard was a major disruptive force, getting career highs in blocks and steals while also grabbing eight rebounds. Guard Ty Lawson committed four turnovers in one of his poorest games in a while. He had six points and 10 assists despite suffering a laceration over his left eye when he collided with Spurs guard Manu Ginobili in the second quarter. Guard Arron Afflalo led Denver with a season-high 31 points but had a game-high six turnovers. Center Timofey Mozgov had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets. Still, Denver was in it late thanks to their defense. San Antonio led 76-66 but missed five straight shots as Denver crept closer. Nate Robinson's layup midway through the fourth made it 77-72. The Spurs' lead hovered around five for the next four minutes before Ginobili hit a 3-pointer and guard Corey Joseph, starting for the injured starter Tony Parker, hit a fastbreak layup to push the lead to 94-84. The Spurs took the lead for good in the second quarter when they held the Nuggets to 12 points on 5-for-18 shooting. Denver missed seven straight shots and went 4:23 without a point while San Antonio turned a one-point deficit into a 41-29 lead. The Spurs led 45-34 at halftime. The Spurs stretched the lead to 17 early in the third quarter before Denver made a run late in the period. A three-point play by Mozgov, a bucket by Afflalo and a 3-pointer from forward Darrell Arthur cut the Nuggets' deficit to 67-59. Courtesy of: lindyssports.com
