Denver are ahead of San Antonio in the Western Conference First Round 3-2. Denver star Simmons led the team to a win today in a key game against San Antonio. Although standings were at stake, the game was as much about bragging rights as anything. The teams have a long history against each other that began when coaches Bob and Bob traded insults after an apparently intentional injury to one of Bob's players. Although Bob has long denied that there was any malicious intent, Denver fans don't believe it and turn out in large numbers whenever San Antonio comes to town.

Denver was led by Simmons (16 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Stith (14 points, 8 boards, 2 assists), Stanford (7 points, 17 boards, 0 assists). San Antonio was led by Duncan (20 points, 19 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks), Patterson (23 points, a steal, a block), Mudd (10 points, 8 boards, 4 assists).
