San Antonio point guard Derrick White was screaming, flexing and stomping around the court after almost every basket against Denver. White had a career-high 36 points and the Spurs beat the Nuggets 118-108 on Thursday night, withstanding a first-half lapse to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series. Game 4 is Saturday in San Antonio, where the Spurs are 3-0 against the Nuggets this season. The Nuggets opened the second quarter shooting 7 for 8, including a pair of 3-pointers by Malik Beasley. San Antonio then went on a 21-8 run to close the half and recapture a lead it would not relinquish.
