#9 San Antonio Spurs 161-153 Denver Nuggets, 7th November 1990
The Denver Nuggets from the 80s and early 90s are going to be a prominent feature in this article, given their high-paced style of play in that era. They set several records for pace at the time, which haven't been surpassed ever since. Alex English had walked as a free agent before the start of the season, and the Nuggets had gotten off to a 0-3 start to the season.
Most onlookers fancied the San Antonio Spurs, who had gotten a historic rookie season out of David 'The Admiral' Robinson in '89-90 and improved on their record from the previous season by over 30 wins. Robinson had a game-high 43 points, despite playing only 34 minutes. Orlando Woolridge top-scored for the Nuggets with 37 points, while their second top scorer Todd Davis had 32 of his own in a game that was past them by the end of a 3rd quarter scoring barrage by the Spurs.
Guess the Lakers players!
