Billups, Denver top Spurs for fourth straight win

Basketball Betting Lines

11/20/2008 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chauncey Billups scored 22 points, doled out six assists and hauled in five rebounds to lead the Denver Nuggets in a 91-81 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

"We've just come in every night focused on the game plan and focused on what we got to do to beat whatever team it is," Billups said. "We've played some tough teams, and we've been successful, so we just got to continue to build on what we've done."

Carmelo Anthony poured in 21 points, grabbed nine boards and dished out seven helpers for the Nuggets, who have won four straight and seven of eight overall. Kenyon Martin had 18 points and Nene 16 in the win.

"I think this team is really starting to feel good about what they are doing on the basketball court," Nuggets head coach George Karl said. "I really feel like we got things done as a team tonight. I really enjoyed the defensive intensity in almost every possession."

George Hill scored 20 points for the Spurs, who saw their season-high three- game win streak come to an end. Michael Finley gave 13 points, while Tim Duncan had 12 points and 11 boards.

"It's very disappointing when you lose a game," Hill said. "You always go out there to win. We learned from it. We learn from our mistakes. We made a couple of bonehead mistakes down the stretch, and it hurt us. It just shows you, in this league you can't make mistakes. You have to be successful at both ends of the court."

The Nuggets held a slight 22-21 lead after 12 minutes but opened a 50-40 lead at the break.

Denver led by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, but a Duncan three- point play made it 62-51 with five minutes left in the stanza.

With the Spurs still trailing by 11, the Nuggets closed out the quarter with an 11-1 run to take a 75-54 lead into the final stanza. Billups had seven points on the run, with Anthony pouring in two technical free throws off a Duncan foul, while Martin's dunk closed it out.

A Roger Mason layup and Anthony Tolliver three-pointer brought the Spurs to within 14 points, 85-71, with 5 1/2 minutes left.

The home team failed to close within the final margin the rest of the way, as the Nuggets cruised to an easy victory.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
