April 17 (UPI) -- The Denver Nuggets, the second seed in the Western Conference, rallied from a 19-point deficit to top the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 at the Pepsi Center.
Nuggets head coach Mike Malone, with his team trailing 73-57, called a timeout with 5:45 left in the third quarter. Malone used the Los Angeles Clippers' historic 31-point comeback against the Golden State Warriors as inspiration for his team.
