Through 3 Quarters

The Denver Nuggets need a win to get to even, but right now it could go either way. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the San Antonio Spurs 103-74 three quarters in.

Denver has been riding high on the performance of center Nikola Jokic, who has dropped a double-double on 35 points and 15 rebounds along with four dimes. A double-double would be Jokic's ninth in a row. One thing to keep an eye out for is Jeff Green's foul situation as he currently sits at four.

San Antonio has been relying on small forward Keldon Johnson, who has 14 points in addition to four boards, and small forward Lonnie Walker IV, who has 16 points.

This is the most points the Nuggets have had yet this year going into the fourth quarter.

Denver is out to make up for these teams' matchup this past Thursday. The Spurs had enough points to win and then some against Denver, taking their contest 123-111. Among those leading the charge for San Antonio was shooting guard Derrick White, who had 23 points along with six rebounds.

San Antonio's win lifted them to 9-15 while Denver's loss dropped them down to 12-13.

We'll see whether or not they are up to the challenge.
