San Antonio looked tired and the win was more than just a little ugly. But the Spurs are moving on in the Western Conference playoffs and the Denver Nuggets are done.
Tony Parker scored 21 points, Tim Duncan had 18 points and 11 rebounds and the Spurs eliminated the Nuggets with a 99-89 victory Wednesday night. After dropping the first game in the series, the Spurs won four in a row.
San Antonio, which has lost only four times at home this season, moves on to a second-round matchup with Seattle.
``I'm going to enjoy this one tonight,'' said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. ``Then tomorrow I'll think about Seattle.''
