The San Antonio Spurs perspective
The Spurs are one of the hottest teams right now in the NBA. After an excellent start to the season, they had a big slump in between, but are back to winning ways again this month.
DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge were on fire against the Nuggets on Wednesday. DeRozan scored 30 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished five assists, while Aldridge scored 27 points on the night.
Guard Bryn Forbes scored 15 points and four assists, while Marco Belinelli scored 12 coming off the bench.
As a team, the Spurs are averaging 111.3 points and shooting 47.5% from the field. They are grabbing 44.7 rebounds per game, and shooting nearly 36% from beyond the three-point line.
They have won four out of the last five played and will be looking to rise higher in the Western Conference rankings with a win against the number one ranked team.
