Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs

The closest series as of now isn’t over. The Nuggets and Spurs are currently headed to a Game 7 in Denver, with a trip to the second round of the playoffs on the line.

The Nuggets are red-hot coming off the regular season, but they’re also young and lack the experience that the Spurs do when it comes to April-May basketball. Both team’s stars have shown up this series and all the games have been relatively close scored which is why there hasn’t been a clear favorite for the series.

The Spurs have what it takes to take down the Nuggets but whether or not they can execute upon it is another story. As for the Nuggets, if they beat San Antonio they have a good shot at making it to the Conference Finals. Only time will tell who’s got the upper hand in this series, but one thing for sure and that is that it’s been a great matchup to watch.
