Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson each have good nights, but Denver proves too much for...
DENVER — Just before the halftime horn Saturday, Denver’s Aaron Gordon grabbed a loose rebound and launched a Hail Mary 65-footer.With the way the Nuggets were setting the nets aflame at Ball Arena, one half expected Gordon’s heave to go in, too.
Nikola Jokic had 21 points and 10 assists — but only six rebounds, missing his 80th career triple double — and Bones Hyland electrified the Colorado crowd with 24 off the bench at the Nuggets cruised to victory. The Spurs — inexperienced, overmatched and dragging after having lost at home to the L.A. Clippers a night earlier — could not catch up.
Toronto handed the Spurs the worst loss of the Gregg Popovich coaching era Wednesday. The Spurs led for the guts of the game against the Clippers on Friday, before succumbing to Los Angeles’ superior talent down the stretch in a 113-106 defeat. Put it all together, and there could be more nights like these to come for the learning-on-the-job Spurs.And we’re not only talking his ever-changing hair color.
In Denver, the Spurs occasionally used Sochan — a 6-foot-8 power forward by trade — to shadow Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray the length of the court.He surely has areas to improve — right now, he’s a better team defender than one-on-one, and his jump shot still revolves like the Earth tilted off its axis — but there are things to like if you know where to look.There was a moment in the second half when the best player on the floor at Ball Arena was not Jokic, the two-time NBA MVP.
