Denver edged San Antonio 136–134 on April 4 at Ball Arena in a tightly contested matchup that finished just below the 244.5-point Vegas total. Nikola Jokić led the Nuggets with 40 points while Scottie Barnes contributed 21, with Denver shooting 48.5 percent from the field and connecting on 19 three-pointers. The Spurs countered with Victor Wembanyama's 34 points and Stephon Castle's 20, though San Antonio shot 46.5 percent and made 15 threes while controlling the glass with 50 rebounds to Denver's 44. The game remained razor-thin throughout, with Denver's fourth-quarter surge—32 points—proving decisive in a two-point decision. San Antonio's 10 turnovers compared to Denver's six helped shift momentum late, and the Nuggets' 125.1 offensive rating outpaced the Spurs' 120.9 despite a nearly identical overall efficiency battle. The result keeps Denver's playoff positioning secure while San Antonio faces continued pressure in the Western Conference standings.
