圣安东尼奥马刺队在丹佛击败掘金队，结束了他们的五连败。这场胜利使马刺队的战绩提升到32胜44负。
由于两支球队都在背靠背的第二场比赛中，许多关键球员都在场边观战。掘金队缺少了尼古拉·约基奇、贾马尔·穆雷、小迈克尔·波特、阿隆·戈登、克里斯蒂安·布劳恩等球员。马刺队则缺少了德文·瓦塞尔、凯尔登·约翰逊、杰里米·索汉等球员。
比赛初期，马刺队充分利用了掘金队人手短缺的局面。马刺队在上半场最多领先20分，中场休息时领先12分。
丹佛在下半场奋起反击，甚至在第四节取得了领先。然而，马刺队并没有在客场压力下屈服，而是在关键时刻打出了效率，最终以113-106的比分获胜。
总而言之，这是一场还算可以的胜利。从选秀顺位角度来看，这并不好，而且不可否认的是，掘金队依赖了大量的第三阵容球员。但是，嘿，漫长的连败永远不好受——因此，这场胜利对球队来说感觉肯定不错。
数据：马刺队对阵掘金队
马刺队对阵掘金队——最终评分
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)
优点：卡斯尔差一次助攻就拿到三双。他的篮板表现非常出色。有一段时间掘金队在篮板球上占据优势，所以卡斯尔在这方面的挺身而出非常必要。正如他的9次助攻所表明的那样，卡斯尔传球非常出色，而且时机把握得近乎完美。在防守端，他付出了很多努力。缺点：卡斯尔的得分效率有待提高。他的两分球只有4投12中，而且他在内线的决策和手感都很不稳定。总评：卡斯尔的投篮本可以更好，但除此之外，他打得非常好。他减少了失误，并在攻防两端都表现出色。
评分：B+
克里斯·保罗
由于有很多得分手缺阵，保罗不得不承担更大的角色。他成功地做到了这一点。他在32分钟内得到17分、8次助攻和5个篮板。这位经验丰富的控球后卫做出了出色的传球或投篮的决策，并在关键时刻命中了关键球。保罗的防守也非常好。总而言之，这是这位39岁老将最近一段时间里表现最好的比赛之一。
评分：A-
哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)
巴恩斯得到全队最高的20分。他投篮手感很好，更重要的是，当马刺队依靠他作为球队的头号得分手时，他表现得很可靠。他的传球很好，同时限制了自己的失误。在防守端，巴恩斯比平时更加积极，而且他在篮板球上的表现也比我们通常看到的要好得多。
评分：A-
朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)
尚帕尼重返首发阵容，表现还不错。他的投篮命中率不是很高，但他的投篮选择很好。尚帕尼也值得称赞，即使他的投篮不中，他仍然在防守端努力拼搏。他跑动积极，而且在球场的攻防两端似乎总能在正确的时间出现在正确的位置。
评分：B
比永博(Bismack Biyombo)
比永博在攻防两端都没有起到帮助。在防守端，他的轮转很慢，而且在面对突破时遇到了麻烦。他的篮筐保护和篮板球表现还可以，但他的其余防守表现令人失望。在进攻端，比永博在31分钟内没有得分。掘金队并没有过多关注他，但他仍然无法找到在这种情况下做出贡献的方法。
评分：C-
桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)
马穆克拉什维利在23分钟的出场时间里填满了数据栏，总共得到16分和10个篮板。他的投篮手感很好，限制了自己的失误，而且他不知疲倦的跑动帮助为他的队友创造了投篮机会。马穆在球场上比任何人都更有活力，而且这种能量具有感染力。在防守端，我喜欢他的胆识，而且他在让对手在内线进攻时更加困难方面做得更好。
评分：B+
布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)
在最近给了韦斯利稳定的出场时间后，韦斯利正在让教练组看起来很聪明。在21分钟内，他以5投6中的投篮命中率、3投3中的三分球命中率和2投4中的罚球命中率，得到15分。如果他能成为一名真正的三分射手，韦斯利在其他方面也足够熟练，可以开创自己的NBA职业生涯。在对阵掘金队的比赛中，他犯了一些错误，但他用高效的进攻和在防守端的顽强弥补了这些失误。
评分：A-
马拉基·布兰纳姆(Malaki Branham)
布兰纳姆很少羞于投篮。在丹佛，他绝对不怯于出手。在仅仅20分钟的出场时间里，他投篮15次，最终得到13分。虽然这种效率不值得大书特书，但圣安东尼奥的进攻一度陷入困境，正是布兰纳姆的单打得分帮助重新启动了进攻。在防守端，他比平时更加活跃。总而言之，虽然我不会说这是布兰纳姆朝着正确方向迈出的一步，但他在进攻端承担重任的意愿对今晚的胜利有所帮助。
评分：B-
乔丹·麦克劳克林(Jordan McLaughlin)
麦克劳克林并没有掀起太大的波澜，但他是一位聪明的球员，知道如何掌控比赛。在对阵掘金队的比赛中，他命中了一记三分球，传球很好，运球足够好，而且在防守端也站得住脚。作为一名第三阵容的控球后卫，麦克劳克林绝对有价值。
评分：B-
米奇·约翰逊
在这个阶段，胜利对乐透抽签的几率没有帮助，但我并不讨厌这场胜利。掘金队在比赛前就放弃了，所以输掉这场比赛将是令人尴尬的。约翰逊执教这场比赛是为了赢得比赛，而且他成功地做到了这一点。

Grades: San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets – Game #76
The San Antonio Spurs snapped their five-game losing streak by defeating the Nuggets in Denver. The win improved the Spurs to 32-44.
With both teams on the second night of a back-to-back, a lot of key players were watching from the sidelines. The Nuggets were without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun and more. The Spurs didn’t have the services of Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan and more.
Early on, the Spurs were taking full advantage of the shorthanded Nuggets. The Spurs led by as many as 20 points in the first half before taking a 12-point lead into intermission.
Denver stormed back in the second half and even took the lead into the fourth quarter. However, instead of succumbing to pressure on the road, the Spurs executed down the stretch and came away with a 113-106 victory.
All in all, it was an okay-ish win. It was bad in terms of draft positioning and it’s undeniable that the Nuggets were relying on a lot of third stringers. But, hey, long losing streaks are never fun — so it had to feel good to the team to notch a victory.
Stats: Spurs at Nuggets
Spurs at Nuggets – Final Grades
Stephon Castle
The good: Castle was one assist away from a triple-double. His rebounding was outstanding. There was a stretch in which the Nuggets were dominating on the boards so Castle stepping up in that area was very much needed. As his nine assists would suggest, Castle passed the ball extremely well and his timing was nearly perfect. Defensively, he gave a lot of effort. The bad: Castle’s scoring efficiency left a lot to be desired. He was only 4-for-12 from two-point range and his decision-making and touch in the lane were wonky. Overall: Castle’s shooting could have been better but otherwise he played really well. He cleaned up the turnovers and battled on both ends.
Grade: B+
Chris Paul
With so much scoring on the sidelines, Paul had to step into a bigger role. He successfully did just that. He finished with 17 points, eight assists and five rebounds in 32 minutes. The veteran point guard made outstanding pass-or-shoot decisions and hit big shots when it mattered most. Paul’s defense was also really good. Net-net, this was one of the 39-year-old’s best games in a long while.
Grade: A-
Harrison Barnes
Barnes led the way with 20 points. He shot well and, more importantly, he was reliable when the Spurs leaned on him as the team’s go-to scorer. He was passing well while limiting his turnovers. Defensively, Barnes was more active than usual and his work on the boards was much, much better than we typically see from him.
Grade: A-
Julian Champagnie
Champagnie found his way back to the starting lineup and did fine. He didn’t shoot it the straightest but his shot-selection was good. Champagnie also deserves kudos for still playing hard on defense when his shot wasn’t falling. He moved well and seemed to always be in the right spot at the right time on both ends of the court.
Grade: B
Bismack Biyombo
Biyombo wasn’t helpful on either end of the court. Defensively, he was slow in rotations and had trouble against penetration. His rim protection and rebounding were fine but the rest of his defensive performance underwhelmed. Offensively, Biyombo was scoreless in 31 minutes. The Nuggets weren’t paying much attention to him yet he still couldn’t find ways to chip in on that end.
Grade: C-
Sandro Mamukelashvili
Mamukelashvili stuffed the statsheet in his 23 minutes of play, totaling 16 points and ten rebounds. He shot the ball well, limited his mistakes and his relentless movement helped open up shots for his teammates. Mamu played with more electricity than anyone on the court and that energy was contagious. Defensively, I liked his chutzpah and he did a better job of making life difficult in the paint for opponents.
Grade: B+
Blake Wesley
Wesley is making the coaching staff look smart after giving him consistent minutes lately. In 21 minutes, he poured in 15 points on 5-for-6 shooting from the field, 3-for-3 shooting from three-point range and 2-for-4 shooting at the line. If he can turn into a legitimate three-point shooter, Wesley is skilled enough in other categories to carve out an NBA career. Against the Nuggets, he had a handful of mistakes but he covered up those miscues with offensive efficiency and tenacity on the defensive end of the court.
Grade: A-
Malaki Branham
Branham is rarely shy about shooting the rock. In Denver, he was definitely not timid about letting it fly. In only 20 minutes, he shot 15 times and ended up scoring 13 points. While that efficiency isn’t anything to write home about, San Antonio’s offense got stuck in the mud at points and it was Branham’s isolation scoring that helped get the wheels moving once again. Defensively, he was more lively than normal. Overall, while I wouldn’t say this was a step in the right direction for Branham, his willingness to carry the load on offense aided the cause on this night.
Grade: B-
Jordan McLaughlin
McLaughlin doesn’t make many waves but he’s a smart player who knows how to run the show. Against the Nuggets, he hit a three, passed the ball well, handled the rock sufficiently and held up on the defensive end. As a third string point guard, McLaughlin definitely has value.
Grade: B-
Mitch Johnson
Wins don’t help the lottery odds at this stage but I didn’t hate this win. The Nuggets waved the white flag before the game so it would have been an embarrassing loss. Johnson coached this game to win the game and was successful in that endeavor.
Grade: B
