Game 3 will be Saturday night in Denver, with Game 4 scheduled for Monday.
San Antonio, which lost the opener Sunday after missing 17 straight shots down the stretch, went back to basics on offense — that is, they got the ball to Tim Duncan.
On his first touch, Duncan drove on Kenyon Martin and hit a short bank shot. Next trip down, he backed down Marcus Camby in the post and flipped in a jump hook.
Establishing Duncan early created shots on the perimeter, and the Spurs made them. They hit their first four 3-pointers, two by Brent Barry, and they owned an 11-point lead less than eight minutes into the game.
