Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs Watch FREE LIVE STREAMING ONLINE NBA Basketball from A T & T Center Wednesday night at 8:30 PM ET
The Spurs will try to extend their longest regular-season win streak of the Duncan era to 15 when they host the Nuggets on Wednesday night.
San Antonio (54-16) had won 13 straight games three previous times since Duncan entered the league before the Spurs finally got over that hump Monday with their 14th straight victory, 113-91 over Philadelphia.
Duncan was well-rested after sitting out the previous game and had 19 points on 9-of-12 shooting in just over 23 minutes, helping the Spurs send the 76ers to their 25th loss in a row -- one shy of tying the NBA record.
A victory over the Nuggets will tie for the second-longest streak in team history. San Antonio set a franchise record with a 17-game run from Feb. 29-March 31, 1996.
With Tony Parker and Danny Green getting the night off, the Spurs got an unexpected boost against the Sixers from reserve forward Austin Daye, who had 22 points. Daye had been averaging 2.3 minutes while playing in only four games since being acquired Feb. 20 from Toronto, but he was 6 for 10 from 3-point range and had six rebounds in 29 minutes.
"He's a skilled guy," Popovich said of Daye, who came in having scored 14 combined points this season. "Obviously he can shoot it. But he's also a good passer. He knows how to play the game. It was good to be able to get him some time tonight."
This upcoming contest will open a home-and-home set between the Spurs and Nuggets, who have won five of their last eight. The series concludes Friday in Denver.
Denver (32-39) has dropped its last three road games after a 117-96 loss at Oklahoma City on Monday. The Nuggets struggled on the defensive end against the Thunder, who shot 50.0 percent from 3-point range -- among the highest for a Denver opponent this season.
The Spurs have recently dominated the series with the Nuggets, who have lost 10 of the last 14 meetings overall and five of their last six in San Antonio.
