With the middle of the West 's playoff picture wide open , San Antonio is making a push for a top - four seed . The Spurs took over from the early going , taking a 45 - 25 lead into the second quarter .

With Friday 's win , the Spurs completed the season sweep over the Nuggets . Denver appeared to be turning things around under interim coach Melvin Hunt with a four game winning streak in mid - March , but has struggled since then . The Nuggets are just 2 - 7 since that winning streak , including a current three game skid . Danilo Gallinari bounced back from a couple of shaky outings to post a team - high 20 points on 8 - of - 12 shooting . J.J Hickson ( knee ) returned from a one game absence , finishing with four points and six rebounds over 24 minutes off the bench . The Nuggets will play their next two games in Los Angeles , starting with a matchup with the Clippers on Saturday . San Antonio has regained its status as a team to be reckoned with in the West , going 9 - 1 over its last 10 games .

The Spurs shot 55 percent from the floor and 41 percent from beyond the arc as they were able to put the game out of reach . San Antonio will get a chance to prove itself against the West 's top team , Golden State , on Sunday .
