Nuggets Mine Gold At Season’s End

There's only one week remaining in the 2006-07 season and two teams in particular are gearing up for a playoff run, playing their best basketball of the year to date. The Spurs and Nuggets are on a collision course to meet in the first round again, and one of them will have to go home after the introductory best-of-seven. Unlike what we would have said a month ago, it's no longer a foregone conclusion the Spurs will win such a series; any team on a roll with players named Iverson and Anthony on its roster has to be considered a serious threat.
