00:01Coaching one minute remaining in the third quarter.
00:06A double Fox, Jokic got the steal, that's what you're talking about, John.
00:09Unbelievable hands.
00:11Pam Johnson.
00:14A lot of bigs can't kick down that low to pick up that pass was made there by De'Aaron
00:21Fox.
00:25Barnes and Jokic almost got the steal, but then a foul, and he knew it.
00:29He's swiping down for sure.
00:33So that is his third.
00:36And Barnes back to the free throw line.
00:46Spurs 15-1 at home against teams that are 500 or better, that's best in the NBA.
01:01So something has to give here.
01:02But of course Denver coming off of playing last night, landing late, trying to use that
01:07to your advantage, specifically in the fourth quarter, which you always talk about.
01:11That's when your legs really start going.
01:12Back to back, you start, oh, don't reach across the line there.
01:16Don't do that.
01:21He didn't call it.
01:24Would be a technical foul if that happened, if it was called.
01:37Murray, again, Jamal's had a good quarter here, Sean.
01:41Yeah, goodness, sugar, another, an understatement rather, he's been spectacular.
01:47Barnes and sidestep no, fell down, caps lock into rebound, they'll hold it.
01:52And a 12-second difference.
01:57Carter Bryant, drag it.
01:59Carter Bryant, got it.
02:01I thought he was going to take off and throw that one down, but I do love the finish.
02:05Hanging in the air, a little double pump, able to coax it over the right side of the rim.
02:11Murray, with the shot clock turned off, has 14 of his 23 here in the third quarter.
02:17Carter Bryant by Castle, one of the best perimeter of defenders in the NBA.
02:21Switched now, Kelvin, clock going down, Jamal leans in, and a foul.
02:30What was that?
02:32Let's do it.
02:36That was a castle foul on Jokic, away from the ball.
02:58That's three on Castle, who's led the Spurs tonight with 25 points, eight rebounds, eight assists.
03:06Triple-double watch.
03:17Two three-thirds good from Jokic.
03:19Time for Castle.
03:22Let's apply.
03:28Nuggets batted back, but the Spurs still have a double-digit lead at the end of three.
03:32A little scary, though.
03:34Nuggets came to play there.
03:35Our guys hanging on, able to stiff arm them there after a single-digit lead.
03:41Our guys doing just enough to push it back into double digits.
03:44Hang on here in the fourth.
03:46low-digit lead.
04:09Thank you to everyone who participated in tonight's bandcamp presented by ATV, we're here,

06:06USAA, the official military appreciation partner of the San Antonio Spurs.
06:14The Nuggets outscored the Spurs by four in that third quarter, but San Antonio still with a double digit lead.
06:21Really kind of puts some token pressure on Fox.
06:26And Christian Brown will get the defensive assignment, their best perimeter defender on Fox.
06:32Mason Plumlee getting the backup center minutes tonight.
06:34His first real look in a Spurs uniform.
06:38To bang the drum after last game on Tuesday.
06:41Fox trying to dance.
06:42Stepping back on Jones.
06:43The good Plumlee offensive rebound.
06:45Kevin Bissell is fouled.
06:47Nice job by Mason Plumlee.
06:50Outstanding effort there.
06:57He's playing for his eighth NBA team, Sean.
06:59Some guys just have a knack for rebounding.
07:02That was not an easy one to get.
07:04It was long and just kind of threw you off when you're underneath trying to corral the board.
07:10And already he's shown us in this game that he's got some solid hands.
07:14Yes, he does.
07:15He's got two steals.
07:17Him and Devin Macella have two steals.
07:19Next game, Saturday, last of the homestand.
07:23Spurs and the Hornets at 2.30 on FanDuel Sports Network.
07:26Spurs Live get you started at 2.00.
07:29Of course, the loss in Charlotte will be on the Spurs Mines heading into that one.
07:37Yeah, and the Hornets one of the hottest teams in the league right now.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Really tough homestand.
07:41The Spurs have won every single game so far.
07:43HP.
07:50Murray out there with Strother, Jones, Bruce Brown, Christian Brown.
07:55Spencer Jones hits the three.
07:58That's what he did at Stanford.
08:00All-time leader in three-point field goals made.
08:04I got one early in the game where he banked it off the right side of the glass.
08:08Did not call bank.
08:09No.
08:11Castle moves Strother out of the way and gets fouled.
08:14So, Sean, now the Spurs are finally catching up to the Nuggets in terms of free-throw attempts.
08:18Denver at 32.
08:20The Spurs will be at 30 after this trip to the free-throw line.
08:23I love when Steph Castle gets in the paint and establishes his base.
08:27When he gets two feet underneath him, he's so much stronger, again, than most of the defenders that he's going
08:34against.
08:34If he gets two feet underneath him, he's going to be successful.
08:38When you're going off one leg, you lose that advantage to have strength-wise.
08:43And if you come to a two-foot jump stop like you did there, you're going to have to foul
08:48him.
08:54Team high 26 points with the 27.
09:02And guarding one of the best guards in the league, and Jamal Murray.
09:06Kind of make it tough on him.
09:08What a good game in Denver against the Spurs.
09:12Dueling 30-point efforts with Devin Vassell.
09:15Murray.
09:17That's his first three-pointer.
09:19Up to 26 points.
09:21He's made all 11 of his free-throws.
09:23This is another impossibly hard attempt.
09:27He's out.
09:28Pat Strother pulls up.
09:31Too strong on the middie.
09:33Now the rebound.
09:35The Nuggets have taken over the rebounding advantage.
09:36I mentioned that early on, Sean.
09:3837 to 29 now.
09:46Jones.
09:48Inside.
09:48That's Nuggets.
09:49Love that floater of the paint.
09:51Let me tell you.
09:52That was a nice fire from Strother.
09:54Just got right back.
09:55And moved right back.
09:56Underneath.
09:57Came in from one other play to another .
10:01.
10:04Screen from Plumlee.
10:05Castle crossover on Jones.
10:07Drives again.
10:08Too strong.
10:11Too hard off the glass.
10:14Seven-point game.
10:15San Antonio led by 20 early on.
10:17denver's fought back on the second out of the back-to-back jones three timeout san antonio
10:23denver has not gone away just got a no north of our shot there it's almost like it's a catapult
10:28more than a push but he's been making them he's catapulted the nuggets to within four

12:45Four-point game between the Spurs and the Nuggets.
12:49Nikoli Okic, Jamal Murray hanging in there, keeping their team in it over the two stars.
12:54For Denver, of course, and they create some points off of their assists.
12:59They are in the likes with Timmy and Tony and Steph and Draymond Green.
13:05Most points created via assists since the play-by-play era started.
13:09Pretty impressive.
13:13I asked a silly question, you know, why since 96-97?
13:18Because all those combos were 2000s and after.
13:22I mean, but then I was told, yeah, since the play-by-play era, silly me.
13:29Didn't count until then.
13:31Yeah, silly you.
13:35Closest the Nuggets have been since it was 25-22 in a second.
13:38Oh, what an idea pass.
13:40Just a little too much sauce on it here.
13:42Since it was 25-22 in the first, rather.
13:44Strauder hits the three.
13:45It's an 11-0 Denver run.
13:48It's a one-point game with nine minutes to go on the court.
13:55And with Jokic off the court, by the way.
14:03Fox pulls up, hits it.
14:07So you know you can rely on Deion Fox in the fourth quarter.
14:12You already established that.
14:14But can you stop the number one offense in the league here in the fourth quarter?
14:19He's at the third-best defensive rating in the NBA.
14:23Murray stepped back three.
14:25Rattles out.
14:26Pass on the rebound.
14:28That is his tenth.
14:29He's two assists shy of his third career double.
14:31Triple-double.
14:37So here are the Jackals.
14:39As Fox puts another one down.
14:4122 points.
14:42Time out, David Adelman.
14:44He's looking at Fox taking the Clippers last week.
14:49Just got to go downhill.
14:51T-shirts of the first man.
14:54Who was a great T-shirt?
14:56I don't know if David Adelman's going to.
14:58What he's going to come up for.
15:00For Darren Fox.
15:01But one-on-one against Strauder.
15:04He's going to win that one.
15:06Then he's going left again.
15:08Drops.
15:09Drops him off.
15:10Gets a little physical.
15:11Nice spin move.
15:12Easy pop a shot for the Fox.

19:57somebody else is going to step up and make a shot

20:33that is three personal fouls on Keldon
20:36first team foul
20:38so unlike
20:42take a look here
20:43I just don't see Keldon guarding Jokic very much
20:47very often
20:50tried to get a little too physical with him
20:53unlike the third quarter though Sean the Spurs
20:55they were close to putting the Nuggets in the bonus
20:59putting the bonus at nine minutes in the third quarter

22:03go to the free throw line
22:04three-point game
22:05Nuggets 32 and 34 from the free throw line

22:30no
22:33not sure he could've
22:35come down with that one with two hands
22:37just trying to tip it in
22:40now Barnes is guarding Jokic
22:42they're gonna try to get the ball to him
22:45inside it
22:46Jones
22:48how about Spencer Jones
22:50how about Spencer Jones
22:51as Jokic
22:51now has
22:52his 26th triple-double
22:54of the season
22:55Calvin
22:56inside blocked
22:57and the Nuggets can take their first lead of the game
23:01Jokic is down
23:04he's
23:05he's up now
23:08the crowd thought Murray went back court
23:10Murray for the lead
23:13timeout Spurs
23:16Denver's on the second out of the back-to-back
23:17and they just took their first lead
23:19after being down by 20
23:21yeah
23:23well you got De'Aaron Fox out there
23:26he's actually
23:28off the floor right now
23:29and
23:29our guy just kind of rushed that last possession
23:33when maybe we want to bring it back out
23:35see if you get a better shot
23:36they've been outscored 27 to 13 here in the fourth quarter
23:39yeah
23:50so
23:51I think
23:52it's Johnson and the boys will talk things over clutch time right now
23:54the Spurs
23:56have been great all year in clutch time
23:58Denver not so much
23:59they're a game under 500 in the clutch but Murray
24:02has hit some big shots hit two game winners a couple of seasons ago
24:06against the Lakers in the first round
24:09on the way to the title
24:11he's been pretty unstoppable tonight
24:14after having kind of a lackluster first half right
24:17didn't have a field goal
24:18is that what you were saying earlier
24:20and then he just
24:21yes
24:21came out in that third quarter
24:22and made all kinds of wacky and zany shots
24:26and now he's really got it going on
24:28now he made that little step back and looked like it was easy
24:32Nuggets are sixth in the NBA in fourth quarter scoring
24:36and then
24:36mentioned Murray those
24:37two game winners against the Lakers a couple of years ago
24:41that was
24:43pretty special performance against LeBron
24:47in the first round after the championship year I believe it was
24:51clock's back on the floor missed the fourth quarter
24:53where his Spurs are 22 and 10 in clutch time
24:56score within five minutes
24:58within five points
25:03the best
25:05clutch record in the NBA
25:07they have the second best offense during clutch time
25:14Dierry
25:14T by 27
25:17on that time
25:19and it's playing with their first lead of the game
25:21they were down by 20 if you're just tuning in
25:23looked like it was a hard show to keep him from going all the basket
25:25both to bring the ball back out
25:29Murray
25:32back to that 30 point game for Jamal Murray
25:3530 last night against Houston
25:3631 tonight
25:39you might have to double team him to get the ball in his hands
25:42but then you got Jokic out there on the floor so
25:44you got two marches out there
25:46Harper
25:47no
25:55Spurs beat the Nuggets in Denver
25:57in that first Emirates NBA Cup
25:59in that first Emirates NBA Cup game
26:00Murray taking over
26:02Murray taking over
26:10up to Murray
26:11Murray three
26:13Murray three
26:15I'm sure I like that choppy room
26:18Fox
26:19Fox
26:20short
26:24it's a 9-0 Denver run
26:28Spurs feel a bit rushed on the offensive end
26:30we've seen this from our guys before
26:32earlier on this season
26:33we haven't seen it in the last
26:34month and a half two months
26:36it's actually an 11-01
26:40and Johnson
26:42his first three
26:43this is the biggest moment of the game
26:45Denver's feeling themselves up nine
26:5014-0 run the last two minutes 50 seconds
26:53we haven't gotten a good shot Jacob that's the biggest thing
26:56our offense has gone out the window
27:01Denver already has 34 points in the fourth quarter
27:05we're back in 30 seconds
27:10running
27:18four
27:20two
27:20two
27:20four
27:21four
27:26six
27:41Welcome back Jamal Murray has gone nuclear here in the fourth quarter
27:47And the Nuggets were down by 20 and now they're up nine
27:50Well, we talked about going up against the number one offense
27:54In the league and I know that our defensive rating is in the top five
27:58But you have to consider that's what victor and the yama on the floor so no victor
28:02They're not getting as many deterred shots at the rim
28:06Jamal Murray has gotten into the paint all kinds of flip shots and he's gone outside
28:11And made mid-range jumpers three-point balls
28:14So
28:17That man right there obviously makes a huge difference on that side of the floor
28:22Now with the right ankle
28:24San Antonio 10-4 without Webby this season
28:27Castle swing at Devin
28:31Offensive rebound
28:33Fox three
28:34Yes
28:35Finally a bucket
28:41Down by a six
28:43Defense
28:46Defense
28:48Fox
28:49If you don't get the ball out of Murray's hands
28:50He's gonna get the shot
28:52He's gonna get the shot
28:54Fox guarding Jamal Murray
28:57And a foul
28:58And it's De'Aaron
28:59And it's him
29:00He's gonna get
29:01He's gonna get
29:02He's gonna get
29:03He's gonna get
29:03He's gonna get
29:04He's gonna get
29:04He's gonna get
29:04No, that is the third team foul
29:08That is four on Fox
29:19Denver doesn't have Aaron Gordon tonight
29:21They've made a comeback though
29:22That one blown up by Devin Missell
29:25The vision from Jokic though
29:27Is out of this world
29:28Yeah, in the pass
29:29Right on the money
29:31Devin doesn't get back in that play
29:32It's probably an easy layup there for Jones
29:37Ten seconds on the shot clock
29:39Castle guarding Jokic
29:40Which we saw in Denver
29:43Jones
29:45Cam Johnson shot clock going down
29:48That's it
29:57Fox
29:59Going to go by Jokic
30:01Passed out swinging around
30:02On two-minute mark
30:03Castle
30:04Hits it
30:05From Castle Hills
30:063-1
30:07All right
30:08A lot of time left
30:12Less confident three-ball dare from Steph Castle
30:15He's got 30 points
30:17I thought Bevin Missell might take that
30:18I know it's a terrific extra pass there
30:20De'Aaron
30:22De'Aaron
30:23De'Aaron
30:23De'Aaron
30:23Murray
30:24De'Aaron
30:25De'Aaron
30:26De'Aaron
30:26De'Aaron
30:27De'Aaron
30:28De'Aaron
30:32He goes
30:32He goes
30:36Barnes
30:37First game back
30:38Inside
30:40fouled
30:42This crowd is alive again
30:47because Mr. 100% is back.
30:49Yeah, and he elected not to shoot a three-ball there,
30:51take it inside, and there's the foul.
30:54He's still kind of tipping up there.
30:56Almost did it.
31:01Harrison Barnes
31:05missed those five games with the left ankle.
31:10He's been coming off the bench recently,
31:12has been the ultimate professional.
31:14Yeah, well, he's had a fantastic night.
31:1817 points off the bench,
31:20and a great job at the free-throw line.
31:23Had some nice defensive efforts.
31:36He got his game going,
31:37taking the ball to the basket early.
31:40He's hitting the floor, shooting long jumpers.
31:43Defend!
31:45Defend!
31:46Ground into it.
31:48One possession game.
31:49Defend!
31:50Double on Jokic.
31:51Defend!
31:52Jokic inside.
31:53Defend!
31:54Back out, Jamal Murray.
31:56Shot clock at eight.
31:58Pass on now on Murray.
32:00Defend!
32:11Defend!
32:14He's going to hit that floater.
32:16He's going to his left side.
32:22He's got 27.
32:26He's going to battle the backcourts tonight.
32:32Matchup of two top five teams.
32:34Crowd on their feet.
32:35I like that.
32:36Hit the ball, and they see De'Aaron Fox.
32:37He's just face-guarded Jamal Murray.
32:39Make somebody else beat you.
32:41Down low Jones.
32:42Shot clock at three.
32:43Johnson being chased by Vassell.
32:45Missed it.
32:46Burns the rebound.
32:50Eight-second difference between shot clock and game clock.
32:55Spurs down by three.
32:57De'Aaron kick out.
32:58Pass on!
33:00No for the tie.
33:02Oh, he got a foul right away.
33:03They're trying to get a jump ball, and it's a foul.
33:18So that'll say Christian Brown.
33:20Oh, they won't bring it to the side.
33:21So he still has a chance to go for a steal here.
33:24Just a little bit too much time.
33:27Off the clock.
33:29It's a jump ball, Sean.
33:34Right there.
33:38We'll call that in Cornette.
33:42First in the last two minutes.
33:43So you do still have a chance at a steal.
33:45Champagne's in for defense.
33:47Couldn't get the steal.
33:48Jamal Murray!
33:49Did he step out of bounds?
33:50No!
33:52Jennifer Newell says it's a blocking foul.
33:56And the Spurs can't challenge because they lost it earlier in the game.
34:01I thought Julian Champagne was going to slide down.
34:04He's guarding the inbounder Christian Brown.
34:07I thought he was going to slide down and just keep Murray from catching the ball there.
34:11All right, maybe, maybe even stayed in.
34:19He stayed in, I think.
34:20He did.
34:21That's amazing.
34:25Jamal Murray.
34:28First time All-Star makes the first free throw.
34:34Murray an 88% free throw shooter.
34:42First one timeout remaining.
34:44Each team has a timeout remaining.
34:46Eleanor 471 and 1 Rulia Champagne out.
34:48Cornette in, Champagne out.
34:56It's already a two possession game.
35:00Denver on the second night of a back-to-back.
35:04Injured all year.
35:05Ups and downs.
35:06Start of the season twenty and six.
35:13And we're up five.
35:16Need some magic here from De'Aaron.
35:19A lot of time taken off here.
35:21Fox stepped back.
35:21No.
35:23Barnes.
35:23Offensive rebound.
35:24Up and under.
35:25It is still in a three.
35:26Timeout Denver.
35:28It's good timeout there from David Adelman.
35:30He advanced the basketball.
35:31Take the backcourt stealer out of the equation.
35:38That is Denver's last timeout.
35:44And Sean Castle does have his third career triple double.
35:49Thirty points.
35:49Eleven rebounds.
35:50Ten assists.
35:52Now he's done.
35:53He's done it all.
35:54I mean he's hit a lot of big three balls.
35:56He wants that last three ball back to tie the ball game.
35:59But other than that it's been a terrific effort from everywhere.
36:04Three balls.
36:04Taking the ball in the basket.
36:06Stepped up and shot the three ball with a lot of confidence.
36:09Fifty percent from beyond the arc tonight.
36:13Overwhelming the defense at the rim.
36:15And I would have taken a few more of those.
36:17Or he just takes it inside.
36:19They don't have anybody that can really.
36:22It's big enough and strong enough to stop them at his position.
36:28But to put up thirty and you're still dropping ten dimes.
36:34Pretty impressive.
36:35The last time these two teams played in this building.
36:39It was an overtime game.
36:41Spurs are hoping to send this one to OT here.
36:44I got to get a steal.
36:45And it's going to be pretty much a desperation shot.
36:52Johnson and Brown going to the backcourt.
36:56Bruce Brown inbounding.
36:59Carter Bryan on Murray.
37:00Get it into Murray.
37:03And a foul but two seconds come off the clock.
37:12So Murray back to the free throw line.
37:17Murray made the all-star team for the first time this season.
37:21After injuries have docked him but was the second best player on a championship team in 2023 when his Nuggets
37:30beat Jimmy Butler in the heat.
37:31In the NBA Finals they won that championship in Denver.
37:36First in forty seven years for the franchise.
37:39He was amazing in the finals.
37:44And he's been amazing tonight.
37:47He's shown us everything.
37:49All kinds of shots.
37:53Falling away floaters.
37:55Little scoops.
37:56Three point step backs.
38:01Spurs don't call a timeout.
38:03Up twenty.
38:07And couldn't get the job done.
38:10One thirty six to one thirty one.
38:13We just didn't play well with the lead.
38:15Didn't play well coming out of the locker room in the third quarter.
38:18Lost our focus.
38:19Committed too many fouls.
38:20You allowed Jamal Murray to then get going and you couldn't put out the fire.
38:27Lost snapping a five game win streak for the Spurs.
38:32Their eighteenth loss of the season.
38:34What a win for Denver.
38:35Central playoff matchup.
38:38Five point win for the Nuggets.
38:39We're back to wrap it up after this.
38:49The shooting stars return for the first time in eleven years.
38:52Here comes Team Harper.
38:55Team Cameron.
38:56Me and Corey Maggette, Jalen Johnson.
38:59It'll be fun.
39:00Hopefully we can get a double.
39:02It's Team All-Star.
39:04Come on.
39:05Oh yeah.
39:05Oh yeah.
39:06Oh.
39:06And then we gotta hit a tenth ball.
39:08Oh.
39:09Oh.
39:09Oh.
39:10The Big Apple's brightest.
39:12It's team.
39:13I got two of the best shooters in the game.
39:16So all I gotta do is just get my roll.
39:18That's it.
39:20This is a dream come true.
39:22Hey mom.
39:23Made it.
39:24Made it.
39:26The Kia Shooting Stars here in Los Angeles.
39:30Seventy seconds to score points from the seven shooting location.
39:34To start with a layup or dunk which is worth two.
39:36You move to the right baseline.
39:38Another two pointer.
39:39Elbow jumper for two.
39:40Then to the right wing for a three.
39:43Top of the key.
39:44To the left corner for three.
39:47Half court is the long range shot.
39:49It's worth four points.
39:52You dug it.
39:53You dug it.
39:53Yeah.
39:54I'm gonna dug it too.
39:56Oh Corey can still get it.
39:57What?
39:58Okay Corey.
39:59Corey McGetty who is carrying this team along with Jalen Johnson.
40:03Position seven.
40:04The logo shot.
40:05To nipple with four seconds.
40:07Hits the four pointer.
40:08It'll be a first round score of 24.
40:1124.
40:1224.
40:12We get the back from you.
40:14Towns.
40:14Brunson.
40:15Allen Houston with Rick Brunson passing his clinical work right now.
40:19Oh.
40:20Houston strokes still in the field.
40:22Fireball.
40:23Got to put a top score on the board going to the final round.
40:26There's one.
40:27There's two.
40:2731 going to the final round.
40:37Can't believe I'm cheering for the Knicks right now.
40:39It's crazy.
40:40Cheering for the Knicks is nuts.
40:42Win baby.
40:43Win baby.
40:48This one's gonna hurt Sean.
40:49This one is a tough one.
40:51Up 20.
40:52It is.
40:53Because we didn't play well with the lead there Jacob.
40:55We talked about how we came out in the third quarter.
40:57Lost our focus.
40:58Gambled a little bit too much.
40:59I thought on the defensive of the floor instead of playing good contained defense.
41:03And we kind of forgot what got us there.
41:05Didn't move the ball very well offensively.
41:08And once Jamal Murray got going.
41:09Because we lost our focus on the defensive of the floor.
41:12Then we were unable to stop him.
41:15Hit 10 of his 11 shots in the second half.
41:17Nuggets win it.
41:19For Sean, I'm Jacob and our entire crew.
41:20Spurs live post game coming up with Nate and TJ.
41:36I ain't smiling.
41:37I'm looking cool as hell.
41:39You smiling?
41:40Oh, God.
41:41See, I won't wave right now.
41:42You got to fall on the bars, I think.
41:44I will.
41:45Bro, you're a poor.
41:48He just waved.
41:49Oh, I look like you, Boogie.
41:51I don't got all the chains yet.
41:53Soon.
41:53They coming soon.
41:54Don't worry about me.
41:55Oh, my God.
41:57Who gives you that?
41:57I look like myself.
41:58Man, you can get this.
41:59Bro, you about to get drafted, bro.
42:03I'm hugging you first.
42:05I'm going to go around.
42:06I'm ready, folks.
42:07I'm ready to get rolling, man.
42:10I was going to call him with me just now.
42:12The San Antonio Spurs select Dylan Harper.
42:16I love you, momma.
42:20Woo-hoo!
42:22Yeah, boy!
42:24Yeah, boy!
42:25Appreciate it, boy.
42:26Appreciate it to my dog.
42:30Yes, sir.
42:32My boy.
42:33Congrats, boy.
42:34We're in the same state now.
42:35Yes, sir.
42:35We're right next to each other.
42:37Coach!
42:37Appreciate you, coach.
42:40Mmm, boy!
42:42What are you talking about?
42:43Come on, shorty!
42:45Yeah!
42:47Yo!
42:49What's good?
42:51Hey, I'm playing first bird, too.
42:53My name's Vic.
42:54Yes, sir.
42:55I know who you is.
42:56My name's Dylan.
42:57I just got done.
42:57I'm going to do that to the Spurs.
42:59I think I'm your teammate now.
43:03I can't do that to my teammate only.
43:05I made it!
43:06Congrats, brother.
43:07Yes, sir.
43:09Cool!
43:09What up?
43:10What up again, man?
43:11What up again?
43:11Good job.
43:13Oh, look at Ace Bailey.
43:14Oh!
43:15Oh, that's up, dawg!
43:17Yeah!
43:18Ah!
43:21We made it.
43:22What's up?
43:22I almost cried.
43:23I know I almost cried with you.
43:24I was right there.
43:25Hey.
43:26I'm finna catch you late.
43:27Alright, big dog.
43:28Bye, top dog.
43:28Thank you, man.
43:55Bye!
44:38Spurs led by as many as 20 tonight, but the Denver Nuggets grabbing their first lead with
44:44under five minutes to go in the ballgame and not relinquishing it.
44:48Coming into San Antonio and escaping with a 136-131 win here at the Frost Bank Center.
44:54Nate Ryan, the Lone Star legend, T.J. Ford.
44:56T.J., this is an unfamiliar feeling.
44:59The last time the Spurs lost in this building, you and I were here, it was January 25th,
45:04but the Nuggets closing it out down the stretch.
45:05Oh, the Nuggets did what the Nuggets did.
45:07They were able to continue to stay with it, continue to keep their pace, their poise,
45:11and their two superstars were able to play big tonight.
45:13And even though we was up 20 points, they were just able to be relentless,
45:16and that's what the different Nuggets do.
45:18When they stars are able to play and have that chemistry with amongst each other,
45:21they was able to will their team to win.
45:23And in closing time, Jamal Murray was throwing 7-11s down this stretch, finishing with 39 points.
45:30This is what he does.
45:31It's the seventh game for Murray this season of at least 39.
45:35But you see that number there, T.J., making your foul shots 15 of 15 at the charity stripe.
45:42He was huge.
45:42He's one of the best guards in the league, underrated, doesn't get talked about a lot,
45:46especially this season.
45:47And he was able to be very, very elite tonight and be very efficient,
45:51and he carried this team here in the second half with his points
45:54and being unstoppable on offensive end.
45:56And Nikola Jokic as well with a triple-double for Denver as the Nuggets get the win.
46:01Back-to-back wins for Denver.
46:03They were on a second night of a back-to-back tonight.
46:05They beat the Rockets last night and then here in San Antonio.
46:09For the Spurs, a bright spot.
46:10The return of HB.
46:12Harrison Barnes with a great performance off the bench.
46:15This is the first game for HB in five contests.
46:19Remember, he missed a couple of games with injury,
46:22snapping that Ironman streak of over 300 games played.
46:25But good to see HB returning to form tonight, T.J.
46:28Oh, definitely.
46:29You know, he was able to be out for some time and come back and make shots
46:32and carry us in the first half.
46:33And Harrison Barnes was a bright spot for us tonight.
46:36You know, obviously, when you look at the second half,
46:38you look at the defensive intensity that we had
46:41and continuously putting them on the foul line.
46:43That was a big difference in the second half
46:44that allowed us not to play with our pace, our tempo,
46:49everything that we had going in the first half,
46:51they kind of took that away.
46:52And that's what happens when you foul a lot.
46:55You don't get to keep your offensive intensity.
46:57You don't get to keep your rhythm.
46:58And they went to the foul line
47:00and they knocked down the majority of their free throws as well.
47:02You saw that note.
47:03First 20-point game for Harrison Barnes since December 23rd.
47:08Steph Castle also had a triple-double tonight for San Antonio.
47:12Remember, Spurs were playing without Victor Wimbanyama tonight.
47:15Here were three of Castle's 30.
47:17More Spurs post-game live after this.
47:42My journey began in St. Croix and the Virgin Islands.
47:46My journey began in St. Croix and the Virgin Islands.
47:50I started playing around the age of 13, just for fun, playing with friends,
47:59nothing too serious, wasn't too coordinated.
48:02So I didn't think it would ever really turn into anything.
48:05I was more of a water gal as a swimmer.
48:10And here I am, 17 years later, doing pretty good.
48:17And this is where we used to run to.
48:20Every little second we got.
48:23This was our home court.
48:25This was the jungle.
48:27My high school court, steel backboards, uneven rims.
48:32And there was all the one end that was a little bit cockeyed on one of them.
48:36I think it's that one.
48:39Asphalt on the court.
48:41Lines mostly gone.
48:43I'm not really sure if the actual lines were correct.
48:50I can't even say they probably are.
48:52Free throw line is probably not where it's supposed to be.
48:54But, um, good court.
48:58Enjoyed playing there.
48:59I had a lot of fun times there.
49:11Hey, Spurs fans.
49:12We're here at the beautiful Spurs Retirement Ranch,
49:16shooting the next HEV spot.
49:18Let's have a look.
49:20Nice job, Bruce.
49:22What's it like now to be in the retired players' club?
49:26I'm very honored to be with you, Sean.
49:28It's very honored.
49:29It's a very selective group for us.
49:32With Manu and Timmy, Favo, George, you.
49:35That's a great honor.
49:37These were fun for us.
49:38I mean, we get to, you know, this is the one time we get to get together
49:40and see each other and do something fun together.
49:43How do you like those boots, man?
49:45It's a little strange.
49:47I thought they were going to be more off-roading.
49:50Oh, I got a new friend.
49:53I think I'll name him Timmy.
49:56Timmy the Doge.
49:57Got the same hairstyle.
50:00Hope you all enjoyed that.
50:01It's awesome to welcome Tony Parker to the Spurs Retirement Club,
50:05and it's always a great time to get together with all the old-timers.

50:22Spurs Retirement Club, and it's always a great time to get together with all the old-timers.
50:42continuing to wrap up San Antonio's five point loss to the Denver Nuggets this snaps a five game winning streak
50:49for San Antonio hard to believe TJ this just the second loss that San Antonio has suffered since February 1st
50:58it's not often that somebody comes into this building and beats the Spurs but down the stretch Denver getting their
51:04first lead under the final five minutes closing it out down the stretch
51:08obviously Jamal Murray with 39 points but the full ledger your game stats TJ what stands out to you on
51:15the final tally what stands out is the Denver Nuggets being able to shoot 50 percent you got a team
51:20like that you got you guys and a guy like Murray it shows you that if they shoot 50 percent
51:24you're going to have a long night even if they were down by 20 plus points at one point and
51:28just being able to you know we did a good job kind of guarding the three point line but the
51:32free throw percentage is not there and I think that was a major effect to us you know not playing
51:37as efficient
51:38as we did in the first half the second half yeah you're exactly right Denver was ice water from the
51:42charity stripe 34 of 36 at the foul line and you mentioned it to me in game TJ really getting
51:49to the foul line took the Spurs out of their fast paced rhythm yeah it does I mean when you're
51:53fouling you putting people at the free throw line it's going to take you out of your rhythm it's going
51:56to take you out of your flow just based on stoppage and that definitely affected our offensive ability of being
52:02able to drive getting the paint kick and get open looks like we was able to do in the first
52:06half
52:06you got to give credit you got to give credit to Denver they did a good job defensive making some
52:10adjustments in that second half as well but I just think it came down to us just fouling a little
52:14too much yeah making adjustments Denver shot four of 20 from three in the first half eight of 16 in
52:21the second half the right spot for San Antonio were all those bench points three players off the bench in
52:27double figures that would include the rookie out of Rutgers Dylan Harper we're back to wrap it up in a
52:31minute
52:45we got my dukes here uh it's been amazing it's been a blessing to be able to come out here
52:50and play but now we're at the Eiffel Tower um taking it all in it's been great what you think
52:55ma yes I know the name just the architecture the everything is just beautiful in this country beautiful loving it
53:04we need another window so
53:05yeah
53:36yeah
58:18Do you think he might play a Saturday?
58:20I do, but that doesn't mean he will.
58:22You know, it's going to be a wait and see thing.
58:24But, yeah, I mean, he was pretty close tonight.
58:26So, again, hopefully the rest serves him well.
58:29But if not, then we'll go to the next game.
58:31You did get Harrison back tonight.
58:32How do you think he looked after the time off?
58:35He looked great.
58:36He gave us a huge lift.
58:39Yeah, just more depth, another body.
58:41We needed it.
58:42But, obviously, tonight a lot of minutes to fill with Victor out.
58:44And really nice to have him back in the fold.
58:47Coach, what did you think of the, I guess,
58:50approach and the pace that you guys had offensively down the stretch
58:53when, you know, the bucket sort of dried up a little bit there for you?
58:57Yeah, I thought, you know, there was a group that hadn't played as much.
59:05And we tried to keep the pace and be organized.
59:07And they made some tough shots, which I think we probably let affect us too much.
59:16Some of the shots they made were great shot makers making shots.
59:20And so we've got to get on to the next play.
59:24And I think there's some stuff we can clean up.
59:26But I also thought we got some good looks,
59:27missed some good shots that I wouldn't want to take back.
59:30You guys gave Carter and Keldon some run at small ball five tonight.
59:34What did you think of those minutes and how they played there?
59:36I thought they were great.
59:37I thought they fought.
59:38I thought they tried to front.
59:39I thought, yeah, I have no complaints regarding the physicality
59:50and the competitiveness that we showed tonight.
59:53I thought there was some gamesmanship that was good.
59:58One of the things that I thought was something that I couldn't give you an idea.
