Denver Just Broke San Antonio's 11-Game Heater in Overtime and the Spurs Are Done Waiting
The Nuggets walked into San Antonio and did what nobody else could do over the last two weeks: they stopped the Spurs cold in overtime. Denver snapped an 11-game winning streak that had the entire league paying attention, and it happened in the extra period when it mattered most.
The Streak Dies Hard
San Antonio had been on an absolute tear, reeling off 11 straight wins before running into Denver's buzzsaw. This wasn't supposed to happen this way. The Spurs have been one of the hottest teams in basketball, but the Nuggets came ready to play and refused to let San Antonio extend the magic into another game.

This wasn't some defensive collapse. The Spurs fought hard and still came up short when the pressure was at its peak.
What Comes Next
Denver's ability to win in overtime against one of the hottest teams in the league right now is the kind of statement win that matters in April. They didn't fold when they could have. They didn't let San Antonio's momentum carry them. Instead, they found a way to get it done in the extra period.
For San Antonio, the winning streak is over, but they're still sitting pretty after the run they've been on. An 11-game win streak puts you in a real strong position in the standings, and one loss to Denver, even in overtime, doesn't erase what they've accomplished.
