Game Recap
Denver outlasted San Antonio 128–118, a 10-point road victory that landed decisively over the market total of 238.5, with the combined 246 points clearing the number by 7.5. The game's scoring architecture told a story of early fireworks dampening into a slower finish: the teams combined for 71 points in the first quarter alone, the game's highest-output period, then settled into a 55-point second quarter that signaled the onset of defensive resistance. The first half totaled 126 combined points, while the second half managed only 120, suggesting both squads tightened up after the break.
Julian Strawther led the Nuggets with 25 points to go with 6 rebounds and 3 assists, while Nikola Jokić chipped in 23 points and 8 rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas added 16 points and 11 boards, anchoring Denver's interior presence. For San Antonio, De'Aaron Fox posted 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists; Devin Vassell contributed 19 points, and Keldon Johnson scored 18. The Spurs had won two of the three previous head-to-head matchups this season, though those contests featured higher combined totals (270 and 275), making this a relatively modest offensive night. DAGGER leaned over before tip, and it cashed, even as the total ticked down from an open of 238.5 to a close of 234.5.
