San Antonio responded as expected in game two after Denver came in and set the tone with a game one upset. Denver actually showed a lot of heart down the stretch and had their chances to pull of the unthinkable, though. They come home with a ton of confidence. They had their chances despite shooting just 39% from the field. If Denver's shooting was on, they would have won that game! The Pepsi Center is going ot be absolutely rocking as Denver fans know this is the first time they really have a shot, with Iverson and Anthony, to pull of a first-round upset. With George Karl at the helm, Denver plays well against good teams. Under him, the Nuggets are 21-10 ATS vs. teams that make 46%+ of their shots and 25-14 ATS vs. teams that hit 36%+ of three point attempts. Meanwhile, the Spurs are just 3-13 ATS this season on the road vs. teams that make 46%+ of their shots! Denver is 22-6 ATS this season revenging a loss (they don't get intimidated). We think Denver has something to prove here and they will do it.
