Any time a team takes high converting, high quality shots which goes in, there is a huge chance that team is going to win. This was just a classic case of it.

The Spurs made sure that they passed the ball well, and they passed the ball often, into the hands of the open man who had the best look at the basket. This made sure that they shoot at a high percentage of 46% from the field and take this victory away from the Denver Nuggets.

And due to their good passing abilities and unselfish display of basketball, they also came up with 29 assists. The Spurs are in the top half of the table in sharing the ball and getting crucial assists.

Their system of play highly depends on unselfish plays and creating high quality shots which is designed by one of the greatest coaches Gregg Popovich.
