San Antonio's 139–136 victory over Denver on November 28 at Ball Arena showcased the Spurs' resilience despite a sluggish second quarter, as Devin Vassell's 35 points and J. Champagnie's 25 led the upset at home. Denver's Jamal Murray countered with 37 points while Caleb Johnson added 28, but the Nuggets' defensive rating of 133.6 proved costly against San Antonio's balanced attack. The Spurs shot 48.9 percent from the field and made 17 three-pointers, while Denver connected on 16 threes at 52.7 percent—both teams exceeded the 238.5 Vegas total line, finishing at 275 combined points. San Antonio's third-quarter explosion of 44 points proved decisive; Denver managed only 30 in that frame despite strong second-quarter output of 41 points. The Spurs' turnover discipline (8 turnovers to Denver's 16) and 30 assists underscored their offensive efficiency, while their 10 steals signaled suffocating perimeter defense. This road win positions San Antonio firmly in playoff contention as they continue their Western Conference push.
